BPS Superintendent Criticizes Governor Cuomo over Closing

Buffalo Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Kriner Cash, criticized New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's handling of closing schools.

“It is an insult to try to cut off a point politically of when we go back to school, or when we would be considering to go back to school because you think teachers are going to go on vacation. I said, 'What are you talking about?' I said, 'What vacation do you think anybody is going on right now?'” ~ Buffalo Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Kriner Cash

Previously, Governor Cuomo ordered all schools in New York to close until April 1, according to WRGZ. Then, he issued another order, keeping schools across the state closed for an additional two weeks, even though they were supposed to be on break.
