1. Where I live, being asked to report for school is a good thing.

Around Yosemite National Park, for example, schools have snow days and many schools throughout the state have furlough days.

In any event, being asked to NOT go to school means NOT being paid.

I will presume that in NYC there's a good chance that this means being paid, or not losing pay.

Not sure I see the down side.
