The shutdown affects the city's nearly 1,900 public schools. Many private schools already have closed
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday that schools will close early this week.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the decision on Sunday, following a growing number of school closures in communities and entire states around the country and mounting pressure in New York from residents, City Council members and others. Multiple states had already announced they were closing schools. So have cities including Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
Cuomo spoke shortly after county officials shut schools in Long Island and, across the state, in all of Erie County, including Buffalo. Gresham, though, said in a statement that he was now confident that a plan could be reached to provide childcare for healthcare workers through school resource centers. He also called on the city and state to provide more funding for childcare for health care workers.
