NYC to delay reopening of schools, Mayor de Blasio announces

New York City's public schools will not reopen until Sept. 21 to give teachers and principals more time to ready classrooms for coronavirus restrictions under a deal Mayor Bill de Blasio struck with the Department of Education's most powerful unions.

That agreement to hold on reopening city schools for two weeks came after a tense war of words between City Hall and the United Federation of Teachers, which threatened to strike if Hizzoner went ahead with plans to restart in-classroom learning on September 10.

"Nothing is as powerful as in-person learning so that will begin on Monday, Sept. 21," de Blasio told reporters Tuesday during his daily press conference.
