Will they close school buildings in NYC in January?
There are so many issues with the QUESTION!
Schools are open – the question is about the buildings
Notice “school buildings”? That’s because our schools have remained open, and will remain open, for remote instruction.
High Schools and Middle Schools are open –
but those buildings are closed and will remain closed.
Also, high school and middle school buildings were closed before break, and will remain closed for the foreseeable future (probably not up for real reconsideration until February). So we are really only talking about half the schools in NYC. Oh, and also, even if that half are open, as we saw in December, many of them get closed because – well – COVID-19. So maybe we are asking “will they open 30 – 40% of the school buildings in NYC?”
