The exact dates for spring break vary for districts across New York State. For most local districts, the break includes April 10, which is Good Friday, and April 13 and 14, the Monday and Tuesday after Easter, along with the rest of that week after Easter.

In a memo issued Monday, the state Education Department stated that all charter and district public schools must continue to provide remote instruction "every weekday between April 1, 2020, and April 14, 2020, even if the district is scheduled to be on spring break during that time."

The directive does not apply to private schools.

The governor has said he will revisit every two weeks the question of when to reopen schools.

Buffalo Public Schools, where spring break runs from April 10 through 19, plan to comply with the executive order but the district hasn't made any decisions about the last few days of spring break.

“No school district wants to not be able to meet the number of days we need in order to qualify for state aid the following year,” said Darren Brown-Hall, the district's chief of staff.

The district is also aware of the need to stay within the 188 days teachers are required to work under contract.
