New York City’s public schools will reopen more than 10 days later than originally planned, as part of the latest deal between city hall and powerful unions representing teachers and principals.
The only major school system in the United States that has opted to offer in-person classes this fall, the NYC Public Schools, was set to reopen school buildings next week on Sept. 10. Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Tuesday that the reopening date has been pushed back to Sept. 21 in an effort to meet the unions’ demands and prevent a potential strike.
