I somehow benefited from the flip side of this. My son's UPK program - in an orange zone - was initially closed, while the 3yo program was open as daycare. They initially classified UPK as school, not daycare, I guess. Now they reversed course and decided UPK can open as long as it's not in the same building as K-8 (which this program is not).

These arbitrary rules are ridiculous.

speak for yourself

No offense intended. I personally don’t care to be called Ultra-Orthodox though I certainly fit the bill on paper, it’s just an arbitrary label to me.

Does anyone know if it is legal according to the letter of the current law for schools in red-zone zip codes to open in other neighborhoods that are not red or orange?

as long as it’s not an illegal gathering it should be fine.

Cuomo has a magic pen, better don't ask such questions otherwise he will use his pen

What if the school is in the red zone but every single student in said school lives outside of the red zone, (not even in yellow) can they open in the zone they kids live in?

I can neither confirm nor deny whether this is a hypothetical question.

I checked and found the text of the executive order (https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/no-20268-continuing-temporary-suspension-and-modification-laws-relating-disaster-emergency), which doesn't appear to have been written by a big lamdan.

The relevant passage says:

Based upon the severity of the cluster activity, the Department of Health shall adopt in the most severe, or “red zones,” the following mitigation measures ... the local Department of Health shall direct closure of all schools for in-person instruction, except as otherwise provided in Executive Order.

It seems clear that the intent is to say that all schools located in red zones must be closed at this time. But if the school "reopens" in another location that's not a red zone, is that actually a violation of the spirit or letter of the executive order?

Didn’t they just move classes into the zone of the students residence?

Give credit where credit is due.  I'm shocked he apologized for this whole fiasco

His “apology” is him taking credit for the “reset”, because even with his big ego he realizes that if it continues to escalate he’ll lose. At the end of the day his executive powers are limited and if he keeps fighting he’ll look stupid.

This is about ad close as you will get from a politician.

DeBlasio by personality is capable of apologizing. Cuomo, like Trump, is not.

Cuomo is still escalating. How far can he go? Will he write a book about his leadership of the Jewish community?
