Nope.

The pandemic has challenged the technological capacity of local and state governments across the country, but perhaps no more so than in New York City, where many of its nine million residents have been forced to rely on government technology amid an unprecedented rollout of public services.

The latest test came this week, when hundreds of thousands of public school students returned to classrooms. In the lead-up to the momentous day, Mayor Bill de Blasio and other city officials repeatedly assured families that every potential safety concern and logistical challenge had been addressed. But at around 7:30 a.m., families discovered that the crucial health screening which all students are required to fill out before entering school was not working.

The Department of Education website, which has been in use for in-person students since last September, was back up at 8:45 a.m., but the damage was already done. Across the five boroughs, hundreds of thousands of students and their parents stood on longer-than-usual lines as school administrators scrambled to hand out paper health forms. At Brooklyn Technical High School, the line wrapped around the block.

Bloomberg was a tech guy and he improved many of the city's websites. deBlasio is a welfare guy, so figure it out. The 311 online website is pretty useful because it's fairly simple to enter complaints into it - https://portal.311.nyc.gov/
