Gov. Charlie Baker announced Tuesday that public and private schools across Massachusetts will stay closed for the remainder of this school year due to COVID-19. Initially, schools were supposed to reopen after May 4th.
Massachusetts joins 27 other states — including New Hampshire and Vermont — that have closed school buildings until next fall.
Baker also canceled non-emergency daycare services through the end of June. Emergency daycare for essential workers is still available.
