The college systems, which enroll a combined 700,000 students across the state, will move to a “distance learning model,” Cuomo said at a coronavirus-related press conference Wednesday.

Ashwin Ranjan, a 13-year-old student at The Dalton School, correctly spelled “bauxite,” a type of sedimentary rock, to win the day and go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May.

The closure applies to Catholic elementary schools in Manhattan, Staten Island and the Bronx, the area covered by the New York Archdiocese. It will last from March 16 through March 20, “with the possibility of a lengthier closure,” according to diocese officials.

Closing most public schools and using the rest to serve at-risk students and families who rely on them to meet basic health needs would be a good way for the Education Department to handle the coronavirus crisis, the chair of the city council’s Education Committee said Thursday. City Council Member Mark Treyger suggested that adopting a “summer school” approach "could work in terms of a limited system shutdown while servicing the most vulnerable.”

New Dorp High School and the Richard H. Hungerford School were being shut down out of “an abundance of caution,” the DOE said on Twitter early Friday.

The private institute offers arts classes to 4,000 students mostly in Harlem, through classes at its building and at partner schools.

The sites, which Mayor de Blasio first announced Sunday, will be staffed by a combination of city teachers and community-based organizations, according to a plan the city Education Department submitted to state officials Monday night.

The small businesses, many of which already run on razor-thin margins, are struggling to make end meet amid the crisis.

Workers were organizing with Teamsters Local 814 in the hopes of starting a union to address simmering concerns over pay and inconsistent hours.

Teachers and school leaders across the country are struggling to maintain a semblance of structure and normalcy during remote learning while adapting to the approach’s many limitations. Grades are at the center of that debate.

City teachers and students will lose most of the annual public school pause this year after state officials announced remote learning would press on during the first half of April, officials confirmed Tuesday.

Many teachers have been relying on the videoconferencing platform to chat with students during remote learning.

Many of the city's foster youth were thrust into uncertainty last week when CUNY ordered them out of their dorms due to coronavirus. Unlike their peers, these students have no childhood bedrooms to return to, and often no families who can help them through the shutdown of the economy or the closing of their colleges.

Students normally must pass five of the end-of-course exams to graduate from state high schools, but officials scrapped the exams Monday amid statewide school closures triggered by the coronavirus outbreak.

The next opportunity to take the test is Aug. 29, and the College Board will offer an additional chance to take the test in September if students are able to return to school.

CUNY students, whose median family income is $40,000 a year, say it’s the worst possible time to face additional expenses.

Union officials say school bus workers will be hit hard by the cuts.

Schools chancellor Richard Carranza put the kibosh on the app in early April, several weeks into the city’s seismic shift to remote learning, citing concerns about Zoom’s privacy and security features.

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the US government brought about a collection of fiscal stimulus measures: the 2020 CARES Act. Among other provisions, this Act directed cash payments to households. We analyze households’ spending responses using high-frequency transaction data. We also explore heterogeneity by income levels, recent income declines, and liquidity. We find that households respond rapidly to receipt of stimulus payments, with spending increasing by $0.25-$0.35 per dollar of stimulus during the first 10 days. Households with lower incomes, greater income drops, and lower levels of liquidity display stronger responses. Liquidity plays the most important role, with no observed spending response for households with high levels of bank account balances. Relative to the effects of previous economic stimulus programs in 2001 and 2008, we see much smaller increases in durables spending and larger increases in spending on food, likely reflecting the impact of shelter-in-place orders and supply disruptions. We hope that our results inform the current debate about appropriate policy measures.
