"I have to apologize to the students that were hoping for a different answer, Mamdani said. A traditional snow day will not be the case."
"There was a student who found my wife's email and made their case, Mamdani said in an earlier interview with NY1. They apparently made some good points."
"If it's too much snow to safely call for students and educators to come to school, he said, that is precisely what pushes us to require remote learning."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said public schools will either remain open or pivot to remote learning on Monday, with a final decision expected by noon on Sunday. A full closure without instruction is not under consideration. The decision is driven by safety concerns and state requirements mandating 180 instructional days per school year, leaving little flexibility in the academic calendar. Virtual learning has become the default alternative during severe weather since the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior additions of holidays have further limited the ability to cancel instructional days. Students' requests for traditional snow days have been denied in favor of remote instruction.
