Today is the deadline for public school parents to tell the Department of Education whether their children will take part in all-remote learning when school resumes next month.

Last week, the city released details of its reopening plan.

Parents say they are frustrated over the lack of information and planning from the Department of Education and wth September fast approaching, key questions still remain unanswered.

As a former public school teacher, Councilman Mark Treyger joined One New York to share his thoughts on the reopening plan.

“Right now we just don’t have enough information to make really sound decisions, and that’s why educators who deeply care about their school communities” have unanswered questions, he said.

Mayor de Blasio says schools will remain open if positive coronavirus tests in the city stay below three percent.

“I have been critical of what the mayor has released because it’s really an incomplete and also unfunded proposal which leaves many school leaders feeling that they’re on their own,” said Treyger. “You need healthcare professionals providing services.”

The Councilman says the expectation to clean every single day and night will weigh heavily on an already stressed budget.

“We also don’t know how many staff has been granted medical accommodations. We’ve lost over 80 Department of Education employees to COVID-19,” he said.

Because guidance came late and resources are tight, Treyger doesn’t believe a physical reopening of any school model should take place in September.
