(CNN) This week is a big test for the New York City public school system, the largest in the nation. That was about a month before the scheduled start of the New York City school year. In New York City, that meant Mayor Bill de Blasio, schools commissioner Richard Carranza and a host of other involved parties like teachers' union leaders and parents' groups. Kindergarten through eighth grade starts on Tuesday, while middle school and high school students have to wait until October 1. The resolution also called for de Blasio and Carranza to ask the New York State Education Department to intervene in New York City's school reopening plan.
