New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that reopening schools is a state decision and that the president does not have the authority to do so
“On July 31, local school districts will submit their plans on how they would reopen,” Cuomo told a news briefing. “August 1-7, the state will announce the decision on whether or not those schools reopen.”
“We will open the schools if it is safe to open the school,” Cuomo said. “Just to be clear, the federal government has no legal authority when it comes to schooling.”
