Notes

EMO 12 section 4.a: 'Except for facilitating distance learning or virtual learning, public and private K-12 schools are closed for pupil instruction and extracurricular activities' (primary); EMO 28 section 4.a (primary). The Oneida Nation's March 17, 2020 memorandum recites the Governor's March 13, 2020 school-closure mandate.
