@GovMurphy @CNN Indoor spaces are not safe. Yet, we are going to send educators, some with comorbidities, to an enclosed indoor room with probable asymptomatic children that are less likely to follow safety measures than the large percentage of American ADULTS already refusing.

@GovMurphy #NYC is keeping waterfronts closed. However, #NJ beaches are opening? What happened to the coordination?Many New Yorkers and areas around us will crowd NJ. #coronavirus is going to surge.

@GovMurphy #NewJersey as the second hardest hit state should make the decision to have digital learning for the rest of 2019-2020 year.

[Tony Rivera @TonyRivera63]

@GovMurphy What school in #NewJersey is able to space desks 6 ft apart with classrooms overcrowded with 25+ students?

[Tony Rivera @TonyRivera63]

@GovMurphy 30 states have closed schools for the rest of ‘19-‘20. There is no viable way to bring students back this year without danger to staff and students. We are the second hardest hit state. Make the announcement already. #COVID19 #NewJersey

[Tony Rivera @TonyRivera63]

@GovMurphy why are schools still preparing for NJSLS when there was a national declaration for it to be waived??

[Tony Rivera @TonyRivera63]

@GovMurphy Your continued indecision not to close all public schools due to #Coronavirus should be considered negligent. Experts and epidemiologists have already told you and @NYCMayor as such. Shame on you for risking the lives of students, educators and their families.

As an educator and mom of 3, I’m beyond disappointed that @fcpsnews is being reactive waiting for #Covid_19 to inevitably be found in our schools rather than proactively closing schools #closefcps

@GovMurphy Your indecision on Friday not to close all public schools should be considered gross negligence. Experts and epidemiologists have already told you and @NYCMayor as such. Shame on you for risking the lives of students, educators and their families.
