At last, New York City’s public schools should soon be back in session.
Schools are set to reopen next Monday, Sept. 21, 10 days later than originally scheduled — and only after weeks of wrangling between City Hall, students, parents and teachers.
New safety measures are in place for the city’s 1.1 million students and the educators that work with them, and many parents are relieved at the thought of having their children out of the house and occupied. Other parents are apprehensive about sending their children into public environments that could put them at risk of infection.
