\n New York City\u2019s public-school classrooms will not reopen until Sept. 21 to give teachers and principals more time to ready facilities amid the coronavirus \u2014 under an 11th-hour deal struck between Mayor Bill de Blasio and the system\u2019s powerful unions.<\/p>\n

Students will start the year online Sept. 16, then be allowed to move to a hybrid app<\/a>roach including some in-person instruction five days later, de Blasio and schools Chancellor Richard Carranza announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The schools had been set to reopen for partial in-person instruction Sept 10.<\/p>\n

The plan was so last-minute that \u201ca lot of details were worked through especially yesterday,\u2019\u2019 de Blasio said.<\/p>\n

Asked why the city waited till now \u2014 fewer than two weeks before the start of school \u2014 to suddenly change things, the mayor dismissed any disruption as \u201cvery modest.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all the parents of kids who are going to be in blended learning, it does mean a few more days where they are going to have to figure out accommodations,\u2019\u2019 de Blasio said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut \u2026 we were juggling a lot of important factors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very modest change,\u2019\u2019 he said of the new plan. \u201cIt is a change. I do empathize with parents. But it is a very modest change.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Carranza admitted at the event, which also included Michael Mulgrew, president of the city\u2019s largest teachers union, \u201cWe need more time.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The last-minute deal came after days of a tense war of words between City Hall and Mulgrew\u2019s United Federation of Teachers, which threatened to strike if Hizzoner went ahead with plans to restart in-classroom learning Sept. 10.<\/p>\n

The unions wanted mandatory repeat testing of all teachers and students, which City Hall balked at, saying it would offer virus tests as requested.<\/p>\n

The mayor said Tuesday that the new plan requires every school to carry out random monthly testing on a sampling of students and teachers \u2014 10 to 20 percent, depending on the size of the facility.<\/p>\n

Asked By Post what the city will do if parents do not consent to their kids being tested, de Blasio at first said, \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does involve parental consent,\u2019\u2019 the mayor acknowledged of the testing. \u201cFrom what we\u2019ve seen so far, we think we\u2019re going to get a very strong, positive response.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

But when pressed, he finally admitted that the city may block students from in-classroom instruction if they won\u2019t get tested.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to have to decide what to do, and it may be a case of the child not in school,\u2019\u2019 Hizzoner said.<\/p>\n

De Blasio added that testing would still be available to everyone who wanted it, with the city setting up tents at school sites for it.<\/p>\n

Teachers will begin to start to prepare for the year next Tuesday in school, he said.<\/p>\n

De Blasio acknowledged that \u201ca substantial number of kids will all be remote\u2019\u2019 through at least the fall \u2014 and the latest figures show more than a third, or 37 percent, have chosen that option.<\/p>\n

That represents 366,553 of the city\u2019s 1.1 million public-school kids.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
