"It took New York City's first potential blizzard in years to get kids a traditional snow day (i.e. no online learning), so what will be in store for them on Tuesday? That's the mayor's call. Mayor Zohran Mamdani gave kids Monday off as the powerful nor'easter hit. But with the snow set to move on later in the day, and the cleanup to begin, students are wondering if they can get two days off out of it."
"The mayor will once again make the call about NYC schools for Tuesday during the day on Monday, as he did on Sunday for Monday. Mamdani called Monday the "first old-school snow day since 2019" - a decision that was praised by the teachers' union. "And to kids across New York City, you have a very serious mission if you choose to accept it: Stay cozy," he said."
"The nation's largest school district ended its traditional snow day system when it began the 2022-23 school year. Rather than cancel school for the day, district officials implemented the remote learning system that the city developed and utilized throughout the pandemic. It hasn't been without technical issues but reliability has improved considerably in the years since the remote system rolled out."
A powerful nor'easter prompted New York City to grant a traditional snow day Monday with no online learning. Mayor Zohran Mamdani gave students the day off and described it as the first old-school snow day since 2019, a move praised by the teachers' union. The mayor will decide during Monday whether to cancel classes again for Tuesday as snow moves on and cleanup begins. The city's largest school district had replaced traditional snow days with a remote learning system starting in 2022-23. The remote system experienced technical issues early but has become considerably more reliable over time.
