Not All NYC Public Schools Will Reopen Monday, Mayor Says - Spectrum News NY1

NEW YORK — The reopening of certain New York City schools will be delayed once again, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced just four days before in-school learning was slated to start. 

"Real concerns have been raised by my colleagues," de Blasio admitted. "They acknowledged that real progress had been made, but not enough and more needed to be done."  

Only 3K, pre-K, and District 75, special education, classrooms will open Monday as part of the new phased reopening plan, according to the mayor. 

Kindergartern through eighth grade schools will open on Sept. 29 and middle and high schools will reopen on Oct. 1, the mayor said. 

An hours-long meeting with the United Federation of Teachers union president Michael Mulgrew and Department of Education Chancellor Richard Carranza convinced de Blasio that some schools would not be ready to open Monday, he said. 

"It's incredibly complex," de Blasio said of reopening. "But it can be done and it will be done."
