Orange County officials say they ordered a Kiryas Joel school to close on Thursday after discovering “hundreds” of boys in the building in violation of a state mandate in March that closed all schools in New York and that remains in effect.
The county Health Department served the cease-and-desist order after officials visited the school one day earlier, accompanied by state troopers, and “found what appeared to be hundreds of students inside, not wearing personal protective equipment, not social distancing, and plainly in violation of the Governor’s Executive Orders,” the county announced in a statement.
The school is part of the United Talmudical Academy, the largest of three Hasidic school systems serving roughly 14,500 children in and around Kiryas Joel.
