The Education Trust-New York Executive Director Ian Rosenblum and Next100 Executive Director Emma Vadehra write in the New York Daily News that NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s school reopening plans—which include only one to three days per week of in-person instruction, and lack clarity around live online instruction—will exacerbate inequity in the nation’s largest school system.
Rosenblum and Vadehra write:
“The decision on whether and how schools reopen in-person should be driven by health officials based on data and science. Within those health and safety parameters, education leaders should put historically underserved students and communities who have been hardest hit by COVID first — working to maximize safe in-person instruction, while vastly improving remote learning.”
