NEW YORK - New York City public schools will reopen with in-person classes, only, in September, announced Mayor Bill de Blasio Monday.Speaking on a morning news program, the mayor said remote learning would not be an option for students and families."New York City public schools, 1 million kids, will be back in their classroom in September.
All in-person, no remote. That's the news I think parents and kids have been waiting for to know. We are going to be back strong, ready and safe," said de Blasio during MSNBC's Morning Joe.Virtual learning has been the preferred option for most students in the city since the pandemic broke out mid-school year in 2020.
