NEW YORK (WABC) -- New Yok City schools, the nation's largest school district, will be closed starting tomorrow until at least April 20th, Mayor de Blasio announced on Sunday. Long Island officials also closed schools for at least two weeks.
"It's going to be very difficult for a lot of families," de Blasio said.
The mayor warned schools could be closed for the rest of the school year.

We are looking at a similiar situation here in Vegas. 335k Students in Public Schools alone plus a ton of private Schools.
Are School system is just day care for the Casino billionaires . So who knows what will go down.
