Governor Cuomo had two major announcements during a news conference on Wednesday.
- Malls in regions under stage 4 of reopening may reopen Friday if they have the proper air handling equipment. All three Wilmorite Malls and in the Rochester area do, and will be open Friday.
- And the governor’s office will issue a decision the first week of August whether schools can reopen in September.
Cuomo says the state will issue its guidance for school reopening by July 13th, and all districts have until July 31st to submit their reopening plans to the state. He’ll make the final decision between August 1-7.
The Rochester City School District has launched a public survey on what parents, students and staff would like to see in their reopening safety plan. The RCSD says it’s working on that plan now.
