NYC public schools won't fully reopen for its 1.1 million students this fall, Mayor de Blasio says [View all]
New York City public schools, the nation's largest school system, won't fully reopen this fall as the city tries to keep the coronavirus epidemic under control, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday.
The district, which has 1.1 million students, will use a combination of in-person class and remote learning, he said. The "vast majority" of students will attend in-person class for two or three days each week, de Blasio said.
"Basically, this blended model — this kind of split schedule model — is what we can do under current conditions," de Blasio said, citing the need to maintain social distancing. "And then, let's hope and pray science helps us out with a vaccine, with a cure, treatment, the things that will allow us to go father."
De Blasio's announcement comes as school districts across the U.S. develop plans for learning this fall, after the Covid-19 outbreak forced many to shift to online learning in March.
