The city is sticking to its decision to fully reopen schools in the fall, but it will continue to rely on remote learning as a backup plan as the delta variant continues to spread.
“We remain committed to in person learning, but we’ve learned a lot over the past year about our ability as a system to pivot to remote if necessary. And so we have that as an option for potential closures, potential classroom closures,” Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter said in an interview with Mornings On 1.
The city insists there will be no remote option, but that it will use remote learning in emergency situations, such as a class needing to be quarantined.
Porter appeared alongside Health Commissioner Dave Chokshi, who reiterated the importance of vaccination.
The pair pushed the city’s Vax to School initiative, calling for eligible students to get vaccinated.
About 60% of faculty members are vaccinated, according to Porter, a number she expects to grow.
