NYS Approves Outdoor, Socially Distanced Graduations up to 150 People Starting June 26

Published

on

ALBANY, NY – Governor Cuomo announced at his daily press conference that outdoor, socially distanced graduations of up to 150 people will be allowed beginning June 26th.

Assemblyman Schmitt (Stony Point) started the petition effort following his formal request made to Governor Cuomo and the New York State Education Department two weeks ago to authorize socially distant in-person summertime outdoor graduation ceremonies for New York students following the standards already authorized in New Jersey and many other states for middle school, high school and college graduations.

Assemblyman Colin J. Schmitt stated, “We now have socially distant in-person graduation ceremonies authorized for New York students. This is a huge win for our deserving New York students who have achieved so much. We have moved the Governor who just days ago refused to authorize any socially distant in-person summertime graduation ceremonies. I was happy to be the first to formally request the outdoor ceremonies two weeks ago and launch a petition effort to support the request. I will continue to push to increase the number allowed per ceremony to accommodate larger graduating classes.”

This plan is subject to any outbreaks or significant changes.

The Blue Envelope Program is a vital initiative designed to improve interactions between law enforcement and drivers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Drivers with autism can store their license, registration, and insurance in a distinctive blue envelope, which serves as a discreet way to notify officers of their condition during traffic stops.
This program helps reduce misunderstandings, lowers anxiety, and fosters a more empathetic and safer environment for everyone. 💙
How to Get a Blue Envelope:
Reach out to autism advocacy organizations in your area or your local sheriff’s office to obtain one. Together, we can promote understanding and safety on the road!
