Here’s a clarification from a source familiar with the situation in Williamsburg: “The Satmar schools were never opened and there were no plans to open it. They adhere to the rules and regulations and we are doing everything on our part to end this virus and save lives.“

The report yesterday, the official said, was about some teachers who agreed to take smaller groups of children at non-school buildings after being asked by some parents.

“As soon it was brought to the [UTA] administration's attention, the parents and teachers were warned that this is forbidden, and children must participate in the tele-classes.” End.
