There’s No Reopening Plan For Closed NYC Schools, de Blasio Says<\/h1>\n

The Epoch Times<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor\u00a0Bill de Blasio<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday said that he is taking sole responsibility for closing the city\u2019s public\u00a0schools<\/a>\u00a0without a reopening plan in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I have to hold myself responsible,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>de Blasio said during a press conference when asked why there wasn\u2019t a school reopening plan in place when 1.1 million public school students switched to all-remote learning last Thursday after the citywide\u00a0CCP virus<\/a>\u00a0infection rate hit the three percent threshold.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In summer, the de Blasio administration established that the city\u2019s public schools would have to end in-person learning if the citywide CCP virus infection rate hit three percent on a rolling seven-day average. The city reached the threshold last Wednesday, causing all public schools to shut their doors the next day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe better situation would have been, clearly, to have that plan all worked through in advance,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0the Democratic mayor said, arguing that there is no reopening plan for schools because his administration has invested most of the energy into avoiding going past the three percent threshold in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s really where our energy was going, deploying the testing, trying to take actions that we thought might avert the original measure being hit,\u201d de Blasio explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we didn\u2019t have a plan-B and we should\u2019ve had a plan-B, but I also understand why we didn\u2019t because we were really dealing with so many day-to-day, hour-to-hour issues, and trying to find a way to avert getting to that three percent,\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe important point is getting to the three percent meant something. It meant there was a problem. It meant that we were dealing with this second wave bearing down on us. That\u2019s a real thing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

De Blasio also promised that the details of a staged reopening plan will be announced next week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Councilman Mark Treyger, who heads the City Council\u2019s Education Committee, said that he has offered a re-opening plan in July, only to be ignored by the City Hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s important for the public to be aware that [de Blasio] chose for it to be this way,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Treyger said,\u00a0reported New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the best that New York City can do, this is the best that he can do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The latest data from New York City\u2019s health department shows that the city has a 3.05 percent infection rate on a seven-day rolling average, while the daily citywide positivity rate is at 2.74 percent.<\/p>\n
