NYC to delay reopening of schools, Mayor de Blasio announces
[NYPOST] New York City’s public-school classrooms will not reopen until Sept. 21 to give teachers and principals more time to ready facilities amid the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
— under an 11th-hour deal struck between Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
and the system’s powerful unions.

Students will start the year online Sept. 16, then be allowed to move to a hybrid approach including some in-person instruction five days later, de Blasio and schools Chancellor Richard Carranza announced Tuesday.

The schools had been set to reopen for partial in-person instruction Sept 10.

The plan was so last-minute that "a lot of details were worked through especially yesterday,’’ de Blasio said.

Asked why the city waited till now — fewer than two weeks before the start of school — to suddenly change things, the mayor dismissed any disruption as "very modest.

"For all the parents of kids who are going to be in blended learning, it does mean a few more days where they are going to have to figure out accommodations,’’ de Blasio said.

"But ... we were juggling a lot of important factors.

"It is a very modest change,’’ he said of the new plan. "It is a change. I do empathize with parents. But it is a very modest change.’’
