Nick Reisman reports at New York State of Politics that some students are back in school this week for the first time in 18 months, while the COVID-19 pandemic is roaring back. There are some rules in place to reduce the inevitable spread of COVID-19 in New York schools, including universal masking requirements for those indoors and on buses, and regardless of vaccination status. Unvaccinated adult school personnel will be tested weekly for COVID-19. The question if schools have enough resources to enforce those rules will be answered this week. "School districts will need that support to get this done and I think the intention is well," said Kyle Belokopitsky, the executive of the New York State PTA. "It's to protect children who cannot be vaccinated. But we're going to have to do everything we can to help school districts.... This is going to be a logistics issue," she said. "Now we're trying to figure out logistically how we can get this work done." New York State United Teachers President Andy Pallotta backed the state mandates. "We want to see all the mitigation strategies in place. Ventilation, masking, the cleaning that has to take place," he said. "We want to see all that going on on a constant basis."
