"We thank the members of our school communities for their patience during this process." "Support Governor Hochul and the state Department of Health as they continue with the appeal," Rosa said. Many school leaders had not known whether to enforce the mask mandate on Tuesday morning. State Education Commissioner Betty Rosa said in a statement Tuesday that she was pleased with the decision. James filed a Notice of Appeal late Monday.
"However, enacting any laws to this end is entrusted solely to the State Legislature." "There can be no doubt that every person in this State wishes, wants, and prays that this era of COVID ends soon and they will surely do their part to see that is accomplished," New York State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Rademaker wrote in Monday's decision. On Monday, a judge in Nassau County ruled that Hochul's mask mandate cannot be enforced, in schools, businesses or elsewhere, because she did not have the authority to enact it. Kathy Hochul released a statement late Tuesday praising the decision "I applaud the Appellate Division, Second Department for siding with common sense and granting an interim stay to keep the state's important masking regulations in place," she said. "Protecting the health of New Yorkers during the #COVID19 pandemic is our top priority," she tweeted. Miller of the Appellate Division of New York State Supreme Court issued the stay hours after hearing oral arguments.Īttorney General Letitia James tweeted that the decision would keep the mandate in place while the appeals process continues. New York's mask mandate will remain in place for now, as a judge issued a stay Tuesday afternoon of Monday's ruling that the mandate was unconstitutional.
