De Blasio: No More Snow Days For NYC Students

The New York Daily News reports:

In what could prove to be the most controversial statement of his tenure, Mayor de Blasio declared Tuesday that snow days for New York City school kids are a thing of the past.

Students taking in-person classes can blame that cold, cold new reality on remote learning, which has become necessary and almost universal due to the COVID pandemic.

A snowstorm set to hit the Big Apple in the coming days forced Hizzoner to go into full Grinch mode and confront the issue head-on Tuesday.

Mayor de Blasio is cutting snow days.

“… If we did have a snow day — meaning kids couldn’t physically go to school — we still have remote learning in place.”https://t.co/k8DVp0rkwn
