However, they say the Department of Education did not agree with that suggestion. The DOE responded with a statement saying, "We're making decisions in real-time in the best interest of our students and staff, and following guidance from the State and City Health Departments. We're continuing to monitor and our current protocol is to close if there is a confirmed member of the student body or staff."
