He\u2019ll test 20 percent of in-school students weekly and close buildings on a school-by-school basis.<\/p>\n<p>His plan for reopening now looks much like what Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and City Council Education Committee Chairman Mark Treyger proposed weeks ago. It starts next Monday, Dec. 7, as preschoolers and K-5 students go back. Three days later, special-ed kids at all grade levels attending District 75 schools return.<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio has no timeline yet for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ny.chalkbeat.org\/2020\/11\/29\/21725145\/nyc-schools-reopen-dec-7\">bringing back middle and high schoolers<\/a>, but he told CNN\u2019s Alisyn Camerota it\u2019s unlikely before January. At least those older kids are better suited to remote learning.<\/p>\n<p>Better: He says he sees lower grades returning to the classroom full time, five-days-a-week, soon. And he\u2019s talking about offering parents another chance to switch from full remote to in-person learning.<\/p>\n<p>Williams is (quite rightly) not satisfied, saying the city can\u2019t wait for the mayor \u201cto come to the right conclusions at the wrong moments in time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students, parents, teachers and principals all deserve city leadership better than this.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
