All schools to remain closed through June

On Friday Governor Andrew Cuomo announced all schools will remain closed through the remainder of this school year. Distance learning will be the norm through the end of June.

In a related order the Governor delayed school budget votes from this month until June 9.

School board elections and budget votes will this year be all conducted by mail and all qualified school voters (American citizen and 18 years of age) will be send absentee ballots.

“We still don't know when this pandemic will end and we don't want to undo all the work we've already done to flatten the curve,” Governor Cuomo said.

Traditional voting at the high school would be difficult, given social distancing orders in place where everyone must stay six feet apart.
