This virus is behaving differently’: Experts weigh how NYC should protect schools against COVID this fall
From Chalkbeat:
One of the biggest questions on the minds of New York City’s public school families, principals, and teachers is what COVID precautions will look like at schools this fall.
This school year is set to be far different from either of the last two. Hybrid learning is gone, and the city is planning to welcome every child back to their school building on Sept. 13.
