The Board of Education is being transparent…. This is not a scare tactic its informing the public. It’s obvious after a 2 week break and family get togethers there would be a spike of cases. This is why the BOE chose to go remote for 2 weeks. It’s called common sense. Kudos to Dr Quezada and the rest of the BOE for looking out for the children and staff.
District is remote for 1 week not 2.
I believe it will close through February possibly longer. We will all learn whose prognostication proves correct. —- Kindly, Hezi
Wasn’t everyone just home for almost 2 weeks? How are these school related?
If they tested positive over vacation and Yonkers schools are remote until next week, then there shouldn’t be any issues with in-school learning.
Stop with the scare tactics.
