NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- At least two New York City official think in-person learning should be delayed until October — and both have released plans outlining how they think that would look.
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams on Monday released a plan that says the city should “consider allowing families the option to return elementary school students to in-person learning beginning in October,” if COVID-19 is still under control.
“Older students would remain at home, allowing opted-in elementary students to make use of the space at empty middle schools and high schools,” Williams’ plan reads. Read the rest of the plan below:
