Five big questions as New York City students return to in-person schooling
New York City’s public schools are welcoming back students Monday who have already lived through 18 months of the coronavirus pandemic and have faced unprecedented challenges when it comes to learning.
If an entire classroom is forced to quarantine because a student gets COVID, students will receive live remote instruction, according to the DOE. If only a few students in class have to quarantine, they will get “asynchronous remote instruction, with support from teachers through office hours,” according to the agency. Teachers will be paid for that time.
Dr. Jessica Justman is an epidemiologist at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health and senior technical director at ICAP, a global public health group. The DOE has said that it expects closures to be limited. Other school districts, from California to Mississippi, have had to close some schools after beginning the 2021-22 school year.

However, many people, including high school principals, have pointed out that won’t be possible in every school, Gothamist reported.
