Returning, Learning,Cooling

As always, I hope this email finds you well on this 9th day of the 7th month of the year of the pandemic.

As always, I hope this email finds you well on this 9th day of the 7th month of the year of the pandemic. 

During this time of COVID-19, nothing is normal, or least not the old normal, and some things happen, at least in my own experience, that makes you say, “wow, this is different.” A prime example is the Mayor’s Announcement that public schools would still not fully reopen in September . Classroom attendance will instead be limited to only one to three days a week to continue curbing the coronavirus outbreak. 

Our city’s public school system has 1.1 million students, making it the largest in the nation, so the impact of this is not a small matter, and there is still a lot to determine how this will be implemented. As I find out more, you will too. I’ve already spoken with District 15 superintendent, and a great friend to CB6, Anita Skop. Then Superintendent informed me that she’d present to CB6 once there is more information and clarity are surrounding what the upcoming school year will look like. 

Until then, keep reading these newsletters as I’ll continue to share updates on this and plenty of other important matters. Some of those matters, including guidance for reopening restaurants and “ Cool ” streets, can be found below my email signature, so read on and enjoy the rest of your Thursday.
