New York: "Hastings-on-Hudson School District announced Wednesday that it will close all its schools Thursday and Friday to sanitize the building, making it the first public school district in the area to do so.

The school superintendent announced the plan after they were notified a parent whose children attend school in the district was physically present in a location that was closed due to contact with a person under quarantine."

"Maryland lawmakers are considering significant changes to the state’s sales tax in hopes of drumming up money to implement reforms in public schools. The sales tax rate would drop from 6% to 5%…But the sales tax would be applied to more purchases.

The key part of the proposal requires the sales tax to be paid not just on material goods, but also on professional services. That’s a broad category that could apply to services ranging from haircuts to landscaping to lawyers. The bill does not, however, expressly dedicate the increased money from the sales tax to public schools.

State lawmakers also are considering an array of other options for raising money, including: applying the sales tax to digital downloads of books, movies and other media; creating a new tax on digital advertising; increasing the tax on tobacco and creating a new tax on nicotine vaping products; legalizing sports betting, and an array of changes to corporate tax rules."
