COVID déjà vu: Public schools are closed

 Sen. Alessandra Biaggi told her constituents in a newsletter later Wednesday that having de Blasio and Cuomo out of sync is creating "great concern and confusion for our families."

"Families deserve clear communication and advance notice to plan ahead at the very least," Biaggi said. "It is especially frustrating that the mayor and governor are willing to stop in-person learning before closing indoor dining and non-essential businesses, despite clear evidence that school buildings are not a major source of infection due to the hard work of teachers and staff.

"Ensuring that students can continue to receive a high-quality education should be a priority."
