NEW YORK — New York City has the largest public school system in the United States, a vast district with about 750,000 children who are poor, including around 114,000 who are homeless.
There are no plans to shut schools down, and Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday that none of the city’s 1.1 million public school students had shown any symptoms of the virus. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have advised that, so far, children have been less likely than adults to become infected.
Large-scale school closings might mean, for example, that subway conductors and bus drivers must stay home with their children or that nurses at public hospitals would not be able to come to work, potentially slowing essential city services. Spence, an all-girls school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, closed Friday for a “comprehensive sanitization of the entire campus,” according to a notice posted on its website. It was unclear whether the school had a link to one of New York state’s confirmed coronavirus cases. School representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
In interviews, public-school teachers across the city exuded calm and said that they believed school was a safe place for children to be given the current circumstances. It appeared that most parents agreed: Student attendance rates were as high if not higher this past week than they were a year ago at this time, de Blasio said.
