New York City’s education department will “permanently close” the command center that collects reports of positive COVID cases among students and school staff, according to an email sent to principals on Tuesday.

Schools saw 1,956 cases reported among students and staffers on Monday, the highest single-day total this school year, according to cumulative data from Parents for Responsive Equitable Safe Schools. Schools citywide have seen 54,596 cases this school year, nearly triple the number at the same time last year when there were 19,667 reported cases.
As cases have increased, attendance has declined. About 15% of kids missed school on Monday, according to city data.

> Closing the Situation Room might not have much of a practical effect on how schools respond to COVID cases. Not having to send the letters is a “reprieve,” said one middle school administrator. > > Schools should continue to report coronavirus cases to a “return to school” online form, and parents and staffers will still be able to see their schools’ positive cases by visiting the city’s daily COVID case map, according to the note. And officials said that the operations would continue but as part of the education department’s “emergency operations center.”

Good riddance.

Right? If we aren't reporting it, it's not happening 🫣

Finally someone gets it!

Covid doesn’t exist in schools if we just stop telling the parents about it

Covid will disappear if continue to act like it's the bubonic plague. Like it did in China.

Didn't bubonic plague destroy China? Pretty sure modern day China is a simulation created by fauci and Obama. At least that's what the illuminati are saying

Knew Adams was a hypocritical clown about this issue.
