Roughly a month before classes are set to begin, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City Department of Education submitted a 32-page plan for reopening the nation’s largest school system, but Gov. Cuomo says that a final decision on the matter will be made later this week.

“It’s about the parents being comfortable,” Cuomo said during a press conference. “Just because a school district says ‘we’re open’ does not mean students are going to go.”

The New York City DOE filed their plan on July 31 – the last possible day to do so – prompting Cuomo to express disappointment that the information was given to his team so late.
