NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Bill de Blasio says some 51,000 more New York City students will return to in-person schooling later this month. That will bring the total number of students in school buildings to 365,000 out of 960,000 non-charter public school students. Parents whose children were attending school remotely were given a two-week window ending last Friday for opting back in to classroom learning. De Blasio said he was not surprised that the majority of families choose to stick with remote schooling. He said a lot of parents “had gotten into a schedule that worked for them with remote.”
