Mayor de Blasio on Monday unveiled the city's new outdoor learning plan for schools.
According to the mayor, the best ideas from around the world were taken and combined into one strategy allowing New York City to have the strongest reopening plan in the country.
Principals can set up classrooms in their schools' yards and can request to use additional space such as city parks and adjacent streets starting Monday.
"We want to give schools the option to do as much outdoors as they can," de Blasio said.
