While Mayor de Blasio may have delayed the first day of school after reaching a deal with labor unions, many questions remain: Will the delay help the city and teachers prepare better? Is going to school safe? Will testing staff and students randomly each month be adequate?
NY1’s Juan Manuel Benitez, Courtney Gross, and Bob Hardt analyze the debate over in-person learning and de Blasio’s decision to push the start of the year. They also talk about the effort to lift the ban on indoor dining in the five boroughs, and President Trump’s threat to cut federal funding from the city.
We want to hear from you:
