"CITYWIDE - NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS WILL BE OPEN ON TUESDAY, JAN. 27, following a massive weekend snowstorm that led to classes being held remotely on Monday. NYC Public Schools issued the notification late Monday afternoon, and Notify NYC distributed it at 5:03 p.m. The City University of New York (CUNY), which had held classes remotely on Monday, also announced on its Graduate Center website that classes would return to being held in-person on Tuesday."
"Facilities teams were deployed throughout the city to prepare NYC Public School buildings for Tuesday's opening, which entailed ice and snow removal, and making sure heating and other utilities were working in every school building to prepare for students' return. The decision to hold classes remotely was made to prioritize safety for students and their families and staff and to comply with New York state's 180-day instructional requirement."
