New York City reopened some of its public schools on Monday for a second time this academic year, nearly three weeks after the nation’s largest district stopped in-person instruction over rising Covid-19 cases.
Some parents of students who were allowed to return said they were relieved that classes were resuming. But they said they were wary of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s pronouncement that he expects in-person instruction will continue uninterrupted for the remainder of the academic year.
At P.S. 105 in the Bronx, Teddy Caceres dropped off his third-grade daughter and pumped his fist in the air in celebration. Mr. Caceres, who is studying to be a day trader, said that it is much easier for him to work when his daughter is in school and that she learns more in person. But he fears it might close again.
