And here is yet another article that may be worth the read. Be sure to read it to the end.
According to this article state guidelines have changed and schools should not have to close if they fall within an orange zone going forward.

this is crazy..i was just watching on the news a PS school in the city closed for positive cases,but noone has been in the school... now i check the covid map for staten island... ps52 and ps 74 are closed till 12-13-2020...lol   kids havent been in school for 2 weeks ... and there are many other schools closed till 12-3 and 12-6    ....

Yabba,
I know there were some extended closures that were put in place before the shutdown. Not sure if they will lift them or keep them in place since all schools have been closed since last Thursday.

I truly think it's there intent to baffle us with bullshit to cover up there many mistakes in their lame attempt at getting the school system up and running.

Ps 52 and 74 started on 11-30-2020.   Lol.  Truly a mess

Where's PS 74?

i think its the old school near PS16... it says Daniel Low Terrace... the only 74 i remember is 1974...  i admit ,i lost all perception of time during this covid shurtdowns..but how can you list a school closed as of 11-30 when noone been in the school... im sure if you look the other boros have many more as abc7 reported..  i dont see this opening lasting long ,if it even happens ...sadly...

Yeah, something is not right with that COVID map. Who knows.

This dummy mayor pushing for 5-days a week. That would only put more kids in the school at the same time, which would increase the chance of spread and the school being shut down. Now is NOT the time to go to 5 days. Leave well enough alone ... but this jerk loves stepping on his own dick.

Any word on what's going to happen as of Monday? For those who aren't working do they come in and service their public schools if they are open?

I know this has been said a million times but unless everyone goes back to work I believe they are going to continue to use the list of drivers that initially volunteered to work.

Hoping to get further direction from the union later today. Can't be sure, though.

Yes but if Junior men start getting called with Public Schools opening you would do your own run, you wouldn't do someone else run due to a senior driver currently doing our run correct ?

From what I believe, the list was for those who wanted to cover Jewish or Catholic schools the week after Thanksgiving due to the fact all New York City public schools were closed. It wasn't a list of those who wanted to take the rest of the year off. Now, as of Monday Some public schools are reopening, the million dollar question is do the drivers of those schools go back to work. All anybody was asked when they put the name on the list is do they want to cover a Jewish or Catholic school after Thanksgiving, and you will cover those schools until public schools reopened. Again, it wasn't a list for those who wanted to take the rest of the year off,

it was a list for people who wanted to WORK PERIOD. It had nothing to do with what type of schools that were opened. It just so happened to be catholic and private schools. I do special needs children and my school is a catholic school. I missed the cut by 10 names because drivers who only do public schools volunteered to work. Well this time around I am going to work even if it mean someone else doesn't.

I will be damned if a junior driver who does public schools works before I do. Sorry but you can't have it both ways.

If you get called back to work and your run is going out yes you would do your own run. Whomever had it would be moved to cover a different run.

its not having it both ways...its about being told exactly what was going on... i was asked if i wanted to cover a private run,i  i chose to wait for my school to open and not take a run from a lesser senority driver...so now there is no way a driver with less senority then myself is going to take my run...  things were not made clear ....
