Its a new approach because we have so much proof now of how safe schools can be, de Blasio told reporters, saying the 3% benchmark was being scrapped and pointing to research that shows young children appear to be less vulnerable to COVID-19. On Sunday, the citys seven-day rolling average of positive tests was 3.9%, de Blasio said. Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza, who joined the mayor at a news conference, said with the new measures he believed the city could safely and successfully keep our schools open for the duration of this pandemic. Michael Mulgrew, the president of the United Federation of Teachers, said in a statement that the labor union was supportive of the mayors phased reopening so long as stringent testing was in place. New York City, which teaches more than 1.1 million students in its public schools, was one of the few jurisdictions in the United States to attempt to reopen schools in the autumn as the country continues to struggle with the worlds deadliest outbreak of the coronavirus, and its efforts are being widely watched. But it closed classrooms back down in mid-November, less than eight weeks after they had begun to offer in-class lessons. Some New Yorkers were frustrated to see schools close down again while gyms were allowed to operate and restaurants could offer indoor dining in most areas under rules enforced by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has publicly feuded with de Blasio over how best to tamp down the virus spread. Pre-kindergarten classes will also reopen Dec. 7 alongside elementary schools. Schools that serve children with special educational needs, known as District 75 schools, will reopen Dec. 10. De Blasio said middle schools and high schools would reopen at later dates that had not yet been set. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:947731836] in New York C...
