BUSING NOTICE: SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK CITY ONLY Nonpublic general education yellow bus schools can choose to receive GE bus service on a total of seven days when the DOE schools will be closed. Under NYS Education Law, five of these are identified as “alternate days” when the public schools will be closed. Those days may be selected from among the following: the day after Labor Day, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or days during the DOE winter recess, mid-Winter recess, or spring recess. In addition, under NYC policy, these schools may also choose to receive bus service on two additional days when the DOE schools will be closed (the Chinese Lunar New Year on January 22, 2023, and Eid al-Fitr on April 21, 2023) as long asthe total number of the days for the year does not exceed 180. INCLEMENT WEATHER Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York follow the policy of local public schools when closing due to inclement weather, loss of power or other issues. Catholic schools on Staten Island, in the Bronx, and in Manhattan may find it necessary to make closure decisions independently of the NYC public schools based on local situations. However, any such local decisions to close due to inclement weather or other issues must be approved by the Regional Superintendent and Superintendent of Schools. Schools in Westchester, Putnam and the Upper Counties that rely on public school districts for bus transportation will follow the delayed opening or closing policy of the local district. However, any local decisions to close due to inclement weather or other issues must be approved by the Regional Superintendent and Superintendent.
