Now, only pre-kindergarten children and students with special learning needs will head into school buildings on Monday, the mayor said at a news conference. Elementary school students will begin Tuesday, Sept. 29. Middle school and high school students will start Oct. 1.
The delay came after leaders of the teachers’ unions contacted de Blasio on Wednesday with “real concerns,” according to the mayor, who oversees a school system that serves more than 1.1 million children.
It appears that Hizzoner the Mayor hadn’t realistically reckoned on the power of the teachers’ unions.
