Governor Ned Lamont Tuesday announced Tuesday that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, he is ordering in-person classes at all K-12 public school facilities in Connecticut to remain canceled for the rest of the 2019-2020 academic year and continue providing distance learning during this period.
Schools will also be required to continue providing meals to children under the school lunch and breakfast programs for students at home.

“I know how important it is for so many students and teachers to finish out the school year, and I was holding out hope – particularly for high school seniors – that we’d at least be able to complete the final few weeks, but given the current circumstances and to protect everyone’s safety, it has become clear that it’s just not possible,” Governor Lamont said.
It is sad that they will loose out because the MSM/DNC scared Karen.
Good opportunity for more home schooling. You would think the rat bastards would want to get the kiddies back, the propaganda has a shelf life. In the home with parents could un wind this and be detrimental to thier plans
why not give the teachers a few more months of vacation....oh, I know, they’re working so hard at home on the computer for a couple of hrs a day...shoot, they deserve a raise for that tough, tough duty.
I thought that would happen.
I guess they will still pay the unions for the non working teachers. Doubt they will refund the taxpayers for the schooling they paid for but did not deliver.
It is expensive to properly homes school your kids, tough when have to outlay all the cash for the kids and also send thousands to the schools who are not teaching your kids. But that is always how the Unions forced it on Home schoolers.
Welcome to the Suck.
Basically the 19/20 school year calendar is over anyway.
Translation for those of you in Rio Linda; The quite profitable school cafeteria Will also be allowed to operate. Would not want to interrupt that Goobermint revenue stream.
Looks like a beaten man. Too bad governor!
For someone who has played follow Cuomo since day 1, he sure has taken a beating waiting to see what Cuomo did.
It’s what, one more month?
It’s what, one more month?
Save the children! Close them down for next year, too!

Yet K-12 kids are among the least likely to be infected folks, with cases numbers so low they are almost missing from the active cases.
If anything in society did not need be closed, it was the K-12 schools.
Yes, teachers and staff would need to wear masks and gloves, and janitor services would need to clean the facilities good every night. And no teacher or staff would be allowed to go or stay in school if they were ill, had a temp, or had a low blood oxygen level.
Sweden and others did not close their schools and there is no outbreak spike of the virus among their kids.
