Statement from Senator Jim Tedisco (R,C-Glenville), Ranking Member of the NYS Senate’s Education Committee and a Former Special Education Teacher, Guidance Counselor, Athletic Director and High School Coach, on the Governor’s Continued School Mask Mandate

“It's better late than never that Governor Hochul lifted the mask mandate on businesses, but she should follow the science and do as many of our neighboring states have done and unmask our kids at school and not make them suffer for several more weeks with the physical impact and emotional and psychological toll of wearing the masks.  Governor Hochul: it’s time to unmask our kids now!” said Senator Jim Tedisco (R,C-Glenville), Ranking Member of the NYS Senate’s Education Committee, and a former special education teacher, guidance counselor, school athletic director and high school basketball coach.
