"Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Monday that the city plans to reopen public schools for in-person learning on Tuesday, but emphasized that the decision is not final and depends on overnight weather conditions following the city's most significant snowstorm in years. That is our hope, and that's what we're planning for right now, Mamdani said during a lengthy Jan. 26 press conference, cautioning that refreezing temperatures overnight remain the biggest variable."
"Monday was designated a virtual learning day, with more than 400,000 students, parents, and staff logging into city education platforms, according to officials. The move was intended to reduce hazardous travel while sanitation crews continued clearing streets and sidewalks. High school students and some middle schoolers were already off due to a previously scheduled professional development day. City officials said technology systems had been tested in advance and that schools and families had the tools needed to learn remotely,"

Monday was designated a virtual learning day, with more than 400,000 students, parents, and staff logging into city education platforms while sanitation crews cleared streets and sidewalks. Technology systems had been tested in advance and most families accessed remote classes, though some experienced initial problems with Google Classroom and other links. High school students and some middle schoolers were already off for a scheduled professional development day. Mamdani and Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels logged into virtual classrooms and Mamdani said every street was plowed.
