A majority of students and teachers in New York City’s public school system will return to in-person teaching in September, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday. According to city officials, about 74% of students and 85% of teachers will go back to classrooms while the rest will learn and teach from home, as part of a hybrid of optional in-person classes and remote learning designed to help control and stave off the infection rate for the new coronavirus.
