Rachel Silberstein is reporting for the Times Union school districts in the region will continue to provide online instruction through spring break, according to guidance from the state Education Department officials. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo last week directed schools to remain closed until April 15, due to the coronavirus epidemic. The state Education Department has since clarified that districts must continue to provide remote instruction, meals and childcare every weekday through April 14 to receive waivers from the 180-day instructional requirement. This applies even if the school was scheduled to be on spring break during that time. While it's likely the schools will remain closed past April 15, not all districts have notified students that spring break has been officially canceled. Read the full story in the Times Union.
