Mayor Bill de Blasio says New York City schools will be all in person this fall with no remote options
New York City schools will be all in person this fall with no remote options, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday.
“We can’t have a full recovery without full-strength schools, everyone back, sitting in those classrooms, kids learning again,” de Blasio said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“It’s time. It’s really time to go full strength now,” he said.
After closing schools in March 2020, New York City was one of the first large U.S. cities to reopen school buildings in the fall of that year, but the majority of parents chose online-only learning for their children.
