Unvaccinated New York City public school students will receive remote instruction if they need to be quarantined after a positive case of COVID-19 is detected in their classrooms this fall, officials announced Wednesday.
Under the Department of Education’s health and safety guidelines, all elementary school children in a classroom with a confirmed positive COVID-19 case need to quarantine at home for 10 days. During that time, students will get live remote instruction from their teacher, Schools Chancellor Meisha Ross Porter revealed during a City Council oversight hearing on this fall’s full public school reopening which took place Wednesday.
