The return to the classroom will be exceedingly difficult — and maybe impossible. @keithgessen reports on city schools& #39; struggle to reopen during a still-festering pandemic https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf ">https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf&q...
The people charged with preparing the most ambitious school reopening in the country are angry at one another, working at cross-purposes, and full of distrust http://nym.ag/2BUi8sf ">https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf&q...
The city& #39;s Department of Education asked every principal in the system to measure their buildings and come up with a reopening plan that would meet social-distancing guidelines — all in less than a month http://nym.ag/2BUi8sf ">https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf&q...
Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza said schools would be deep cleaned each night. But Robert Troeller, president of Local 891 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, says the DOE’s cleaning protocols are unrealistic http://nym.ag/2BUi8sf ">https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf&q...
Carranza also said HVAC systems would be upgraded, though Troeller says most schools were built so long ago that they don& #39;t even have HVAC systems http://nym.ag/2BUi8sf ">https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf&q...
Many teachers worry that the in-classroom experience, as envisioned by the DOE, won’t be very educational http://nym.ag/2BUi8sf ">https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf&q...
Despite the precautions being taken, teachers worry that schools can’t be made safe and that the buildings are simply in too much disrepair http://nym.ag/2BUi8sf ">https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf&q...
“I want to be back in school when it’s safe,” says Annie Tan, a fifth-grade special-ed teacher in Sunset Park. “But I also don’t want kids to feel in a year’s time that their presence killed someone. I honestly think that’s going to happen” http://nym.ag/2BUi8sf ">https://nym.ag/2BUi8sf&q...
