| 0:00.0 | It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC. |
| 0:13.9 | Good morning, everyone, on this day after the blizzard of 26, when different communities in our area are making different choices about reopening schools. |
| 0:23.6 | Now, lots of schools and school districts remain closed today. |
| 0:27.6 | You probably haven't heard a lot of this unless you're in those school districts because |
| 0:31.2 | New York City reopening is getting so much press. |
| 0:35.0 | But northern New Jersey, Long Island, some are going remote, many most are closed, |
