Trump pushes state, local leaders to reopen schools in fall

Determined to reopen America's schools despite coronavirus worries, President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday to hold back federal money if school districts don't bring their students back in the fall. He complained that his own public health officials' safety guidelines are impractical and too expensive. Shortly afterward, Vice President Mike Pence announced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be issuing new guidance next week “that will give all new tools to our schools.” The recommendations will keep students safe, he said, but "the president said today we just don’t want the guidance to be too tough. ” Despite Trump's increased pressure on state and local officials, New York City announced that most of its students would return to classrooms only two or three days a week and would learn online in between. “Most schools will not be able to have all their kids in school at the same time,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. For a nation that prides itself on its public school system, it's an extraordinary situation in this pandemic year. With millions of the nation's parents anxious about their children's safety in the fall — and their own work interruptions if they must stay home — Trump continued to inject politics into public health. He accused Democrats yet again of wanting to keep schools closed for election-year reasons rather than health concerns. And he issued a veiled threat to CDC officials over their reopening guidelines, tweeting, “I will be meeting with them!!!” Elsewhere in the nation, many states continued to confront a resurgence of the the virus, which has claimed more than 130,000 lives in the U.S. But safety obstacles in schools can be surmounted, Trump insisted, and reopening "is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!” He did not say what funding he would pull, but Pence suggested at a coronavirus task force briefing that future COVID-19 relief bills could be tied to reopening schools as one way “to give states a strong incentive and encouragement to get kids back in school.” On Twitter, Trump argued that countries including Germany, Denmark and Norway have reopened schools “with no problems.” Germany did begin to reopen its schools in May, but in many cases students are taking turns going to school and studying at home for half the week — just the thing administration officials have criticized. Germany authorities are aiming for classes to resume in close to normal fashion after the summer vacation. Trump's Twitter warnings drew backlash from some governors who said he has no authority over schools' fall plans. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, said officials will reopen when it's safe to do so. “School reopenings are a state decision, period,” he said at a news conference. “That is the law, and that is the way we are going to proceed. It’s not up to the president of the United States.” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer tweeted, “Our schools & child care providers need MORE federal funding — not less — to be able to safely open." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made reopening schools a priority to help parents get back to work, and he said Wednesday he supports CDC guidance to help that happen. Senate Democrats have proposed $430 billion for schools and child care providers as part of the next aid package to be debated in Congress later this month. McConnell, too, has suggested more money for schools will be needed. Trump made his threat a day after launching an all-out effort pressing state and local officials to reopen the nation’s schools and colleges this fall. At a White House event Tuesday, health and education officials argued that keeping students out for the fall semester would pose greater health risks than any tied to the coronavirus. Among those pushing for a fall reopening was the chief of the CDC. But Trump on Wednesday complained the agency’s school opening guidelines were too tough and costly. “While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things,” Trump wrote. The CDC’s director, Dr. Robert Redfield, has emphasized that his agency’s guidelines are only recommendations. “I want to make it very clear that what is not the intent of CDC’s guidelines is to be used as a rationale to keep schools closed,” he said at Wednesday’s coronavirus task force briefing, which was held at the Education Department. The CDC’s guidance recommends that students and teachers wear masks whenever feasible, spread out desks, stagger schedules, eat meals in classrooms instead of the cafeteria and add physical barriers between bathroom sinks. Trump did not clarify which of the guidelines he opposed. But a White House spokeswoman later offered an example, saying the president takes issue with the CDC's suggestion that students bring their own meals to school when feasible. “There are 22 million children in this country who depend on these meals at schools, who depend on access to nutrition in schools,” Kayleigh McEnany said. Democrats slammed the president over his threats and warned him to keep out of the CDC's work. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, ranking Democrat on the Education Committee, said the agency needs to be trusted to make decisions based on scientific evidence, “not on President Trump's Twitter outbursts.” At the task force briefing, and a day earlier in a call with the nation's governors, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said anything less than a full reopening would be a failure for students and taxpayers. But some of the nation's largest districts plan to bring back limited numbers of students for only a few days a week, saying it would be unsafe for all to return at once. DeVos singled out Virginia’s Fairfax County Public Schools, which are asking families to decide between fully remote instruction or two days a week at school. “A choice of two days per week in the classroom is not a choice at all,” she said, according to audio of the call with governors obtained by The Associated Press. In announcing New York City's plan for in-person instruction two or three days a week, de Blasio said schools can’t accommodate all their students at any one time while maintaining social distancing. The city’s public school system, with 1.1 million students, is by far the nation’s largest. Lily Eskelsen García, president of the National Education Association, said, “Educators want nothing more than to be back in classrooms and on college campuses with our students, but we must do it in a way that keeps students, educators and communities safe.” The American Academy of Pediatrics recently issued guidelines suggesting that districts aim to start the academic year with students “physically present in school.” Keeping students at home can lead to social isolation, the organization said, and prevent schools from identifying learning deficits, abuse, depression and other issues. ___ Associated Press writers Kevin Freking in Washington and Frank Jordans in Berlin contributed to this report.

Cuomo makes announcements regarding schools, malls

NEW YORK (WBEN) - Governor Andrew Cuomo held a lengthy press conference Wednesday morning, announcing that malls in Phase 4 regions will be allowed to open Friday.However, Cuomo spent a large portion of the press conference discussing schools and the process for potential reopening."On July 31, local school districts will submit their plans on how they would reopen, what their precautions will be, if they want to have a phased reopening, if they want to have a partial reopening - those plans would come in on July 31," said Cuomo. "August 1-7, the state will announce a decision on whether or not those schools reopen."Not atypical, Cuomo and President Trump are at odds about the decision to reopen schools, as Trump posted a series of tweets on Wednesday morning.In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 8, 2020 "School reopenings are a state decision - period," Cuomo began. "That is the law, and that is the way we are going to proceed - it's not up to the President of the United States."There is something called the Constitution that guides government power, and then there are a series of laws that are based on that Constitution," he continued. "The President does not have the authority to open schools."Listen to Cuomo's full press conference below: Governor Cuomo Makes Announcements Regarding Schools, Malls

Schumer pushes to extend PPP program for small businesses

Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) – Standing inside the loading dock of Partners Packaging in South Buffalo, Senator Charles Schumer announced the inclusion of an extension of the popular Paycheck Protection Program in the next federal stimulus legislation expected to pass Congress later this month.“One of the things we’re most worried about is our small businesses. They are the backbone of the local economy here in Western New York,” said Schumer.“They don’t have the cushion,” said Schumer in referencing small businesses like Partners Packaging and hundreds of others like them in the region.When the PPP was initially passed, it paid for employees at businesses with fewer than 100 employees for eight weeks and also covered a percentage of non-employee costs for the businesses who were approved. A shorter five week extension followed and now that COVID-19 has extended well beyond that time period, Schumer is announcing bipartisan support for a further extension of the program.The proposed legislation would provide much-needed relief to small business owners by extending the PPP loan period to the end of the year and providing the option for a second PPP loan for eligible small businesses that are in need of additional assistance to survive. Additionally, the legislation will allow for businesses to access funds worth 250 percent of monthly payroll costs, up to a maximum of $2 million. Small businesses and non-profits with fewer than 100 employees, sole proprietors, independent contractors, self-employed borrowers, and rural and historically underserved communities will be eligible for this second round of assistance, in an effort to get critical federal aid to the most in-need businesses that have lost 50% or more of revenues due to the pandemic.“We want to help our small businesses,” said Schumer as he stood alongside Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz and the leadership of Partners Packaging.Schumer expects Congressional action on the next round of stimulus and the PPP extension sometime later in July.

Wing Festival announces re-imagined 2020 event

Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - The National Buffalo Wing Festival is the latest event to be forced to be re-imagined because of the ongoing Pandemic. Festival Founder Drew Cerza announced on Wednesday that the Wing Fest will not take place as it normally does at Sahlen Field, and instead transform for a year into a month-long fundraising event. "We are going to be naming October 'National Chicken Wing Month,'" Cerza said. He means it too. Cerza said they are going through a process to receive a Congressional Declaration that would make that declaration official.During the month of October "America's Biggest Chicken Wing Party" will ask people to have individual fundraisers at home or at other venues across America, subject to local health guidelines, to benefit local food banks. Buffalo Bills Backers Fan Clubs in several cities have already signed on to party on October 4th during the Buffalo Bills vs Las Vegas Raiders game. Each wing party will serve as a fundraiser for the local Food Bank in that city.“For years, I’ve heard from Wingfest attendees from across the United States who wanted us to bring a celebration of wings to their hometown. This year, we’re doing just that all while raising money for a great cause,” Cerza said.More information about the re-imagined event can be found at ChickenWingUSA.com WingFest 2020 Announcement

NYC mayor: Schools will reopen in fall with hybrid learning

NEW YORK (AP) — Most New York City students will return to their physical schools two or three days a week and learn online the rest of the time under a plan announced by Mayor Bill de Blasio.De Blasio said Wednesday that schools can’t accommodate all their students at any one time and maintain safe social distancing, and the mayor also said parents will have the option of online-only instruction for their children, but he said 75% of parents who answered a survey want their children in school in September.Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said several times that the decision whether to open schools is his to make. De Blasio said the city would work closely with state officials. The city’s public school system is the largest in the U.S.

Inside the reopening process at Hamburg Central Schools

Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) "This is not a problem that you solve like a Rubik's cube, where there are a set of steps, you finish it and set it aside. This is a lot more complex than that," said Michael Cornell, Superintendent of Hamburg Central Schools."There's a lot we don't know about Covid-19. There are a lot of variables. The circumstances could change quickly. We're attempting to manage an ongoing challenge." Should Schools Reopen With Coronavirus Still Around? - Hamburg School Superintendent Michael Cornell Cornell and other school superintendents are expecting guidance on reopening from the state at some point next week on the reopening of schools."We have to remember that they have a difficult challenge developing guidance for such a large state. We have to be patient while they go about their work," said Cornell.All 700 school districts across the state have been instructed to come up with a reopening plan for their district."What we're doing in Hamburg is creating a process that allows us to build planning that takes into account the complexity of the challenge that is before us," he said.Cornell has about 100 people working in different teams to help us figure out how to restart school. Everyone has a different role to play. "For example, we have the Board of Education working with the Superintendent. They see the whole field, the whole organization. We have stakeholders who represent particular constituencies such as bargaining units, the PTA. Then, we have three separate working groups with fifteen or twenty people in each of those. On top of that, we have core teams, or decision making teams who look at the practical aspect of plans. Cornell said he needs to put as many ideas as possible on the table."We have to be ready for everything and anything."Every plan will be put through a test. "What does the plan look like if we're in person with all students on campus every day. Then we look at it if we're in a hybrid schedule where half of the kids are there one day and half are there another day. And then we look at what happens if we are in a full remote learning scenario," said Cornell. Cornell said one thing he is confident about, is that there are amazing people in Hamburg who value collaboration and the marketplace of ideas. "I think we're up to the challenge," he said."It's absolutely critical that education continues, and school opens in some form," said Dr.Tom Russo, infectious disease expert at the Jacobs School of Medicine. "But," he adds, "it's critical that we do it in as safe a manner as possible and minimize the risk of infections from coronavirus." Russo said every school is different and each will come up with a different plan as they look for the best way to reopen. "It's complicated," he said. Coronavirus Containment; Letting Kids Return to School - Dr Tom Russo Russo said the greatest concern in reopening school is if children get infected in school and bring the virus home to parents and grandparents.

New Era to end furlough, lay off over 100 WNY employees

Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - New Era Cap will be welcoming back workers after a lengthy furlough, but many of their Buffalo employees will be permanently without work. The company announced that they will be bringing back a majority of its employees from furlough, which has been ongoing since March, by August. However, New Era will be permanently laying off a third of its workforce, including 117 employees in Buffalo, according to a Business First Report."While we’re seeing some bright spots, it is now evident that it will take time for business to recover to prior levels," read a New Era statement to WBEN. "All of this means that we have had to resize our workforce to better align our operations with the new market reality."The move towards layoffs comes even after the company received a Paycheck Protection Loan, designed to provide incentive for businesses to keep their workers on the payroll, of between $5 and $10 Million dollars.It's the company's second large-scale layoff in two years. In 2019, the company closed its Derby manufacturing plant, which eliminated over 200 Western New York jobs.

Community pools making the best of circumstances

BUFFALO (WBEN) - In what seems to be a rather cruel set of circumstances, Western New Yorkers are experiencing what could turn out to be a record setting heat wave during a pandemic.Fortunately, some community pools, such as the Lincoln Pool in Tonawanda, have opened up to residents just in time to help combat the heat - but of course, they can't pack in nearly as many people as they would have in years past."Based on guidelines from New York State, the size of the pool, the square footage, where normally we could have, in normal times, 300 kids or people in the pool at a time, we're limited to 75," said Town of Tonawanda Superintendent for Parks & Recreation Mark Campanella.Listen to Campanella's full comments below: Mark Campanella on Tonawanda's Lincoln Pool Mike Frysz serves as the outreach coordinator for the Town of Amherst, and he discussed the unique system the town has created in order to allow more people access in a time of limited capability at their Clearfield Community Center."It's on a pre-registration basis," said Frysz, noting that use is down about 60% per day compared to an average summer. "People obtain their recreation ID cards, and once those are obtained, then they can register online for opportunities to go swimming, and we have limited participation at both pools that we have open."Essentially, residents can go online to reserve an hour and a half time slot to have access to either pool, and there are 30 minutes set aside between time slots so that staff can properly sanitize and disinfect the area before the next set of residents can come in.Despite the limitations, Frysz said the town is simply happy to be able to provide any type of service at this point."We're delighted to have the opportunity to provide the service of having a pool open, albeit on a limited basis, for our families and especially the children who very much appreciate the opportunity, especially after having been sidelined for all those months," he said.Listen to Frysz's full comments below: Amherst's Mike Frysz Discusses Process for Community Pool Access Perhaps mostly due to the heat, Campanella added that there have been more residents to come out that what they had originally anticipated. However, he said that residents have been very cooperative thus far. "With the exception of the first day when there were people lined up here early in the morning, I think people realized there's no panic, there's no reason to get here (then)," he said. "People come and go inside the pool, so if there are 75 people in, you wait in line, three come out, three go in."

New York requires visitors from 3 more states to quarantine

ALBANY, N.Y. (WBEN/AP) — New York is now requiring people from three additional states to quarantine for 14 days as more individuals are testing positive for COVID-19 nationwide.Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a Tuesday press release that Delaware, Kansas and Oklahoma now join a total of 19 states(listed below) that qualify under New York’s metrics for community spread.Cuomo’s advisory applies to states with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents over a 7-day rolling average, or states with a 10% or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average.“As states around the country experience increasing community spread, New York is taking action to ensure the continued safety of our phased reopening,” Cuomo, a Democrat, said.Cuomo said he hopes his travel advisory will prevent COVID-19 from spreading at high rates again in a state hard-hit by the pandemic.Cuomo’s office said 836 people were hospitalized Monday — up 19 from Sunday, but down from 878 on July 1.New York is seeing a smaller share of individuals test positive for COVID-19 even as the state amped up its testing and slowly reopened its economy.About 600 individuals tested positive for COVID-19 Monday out of nearly 57,000 tested, according to Cuomo’s office.New York’s testing has turned up nearly 400,000 positive test results since the spring, out of 4.2 million tests of individuals.Cuomo said ten people with COVID-19 died in hospitals and nursing homes Monday. The state’s numbers are likely an undercount — about 25,000 people with COVID-19 have died in hospitals and nursing homes since March, while New York City says another 4,600 people likely died of COVID-19.RESTRICTED STATESAlabamaArkansasArizonaCaliforniaDelawareFloridaGeorgiaIowaIdahoKansasLouisianaMississippi North CarolinaNevadaOklahomaSouth CarolinaTennesseeTexasUtah
