Bob Schneider, executive director of the New York State School Boards Association, says schools have had success keeping down the COVID-19 rate.

The COVID-19 rate has been climbing in New York, as everywhere else in the nation, but the infection rate in schools has remained low. And with some exceptions, many districts continue to offer part-time in-person learning.

In an interview with WXXI’s Karen DeWitt, the executive director of the New York State School Boards Association, Bob Schneider, explains how schools have pulled it off so far.

Karen DeWitt is Capitol Bureau chief for the New York Public News Network, composed of a dozen newsrooms across the state. She has covered state government and politics for the network since 1990.
