Closing most public schools and using the rest to serve at-risk students and families who rely on them to meet basic health needs would be a good way for the Education Department to handle the coronavirus crisis, the chair of the city council’s Education Committee said Thursday. City Council Member Mark Treyger suggested that adopting a “summer school” approach "could work in terms of a limited system shutdown while servicing the most vulnerable.”

Success Academy Charter Schools, which teaches 18,000 students across 45 schools in the city, will move to online learning starting Mar. 19, though officials didn’t specify how long the shutdown will last.

UFT head Michael Mulgrew pointed out that many city private and charter schools have already shut their doors plus multiple other states.

Education officials, in a Friday morning webinar, instructed all city principals to prepare for an extended shutdown by assembling materials to send home with students, reviewing how to use online teaching platforms and deciding how to communicate with families, according to a copy of the presentation obtained by The News.

Mulgrew accused city officials of not complying with state protocol on school closures - which mandates 24-hour shutdowns if a student or staff member tests positive - and creating unsafe labor conditions.

A Brooklyn principal has died of complications from the coronavirus, the principals union announced Monday.

Rona Phillips, the principal of KAPPA V High School in Brownsville, is in intensive care with pneumonia, officials said. “Our thoughts are with Principal Phillips and her family for a speedy recovery, and we’ll support the school community in every way we can,” said Education Department spokeswoman Miranda Barbot.

City teachers and students will lose most of the annual public school pause this year after state officials announced remote learning would press on during the first half of April, officials confirmed Tuesday.

City schools were originally supposed to be off April 9-17.

The goal for remote learning during the break “is to maintain the exciting and enriching aspects that Spring Recess provides,” Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza told teachers in a Monday night email.

CUNY officials hope the new relief effort — started with two $1 million donations from the Dimon and Petrie Foundations — will eventually grow to $10 million.

Sigrid Nunez, 69, authored the National Book Award-winning novel “The Friend," which depicts a woman’s grief over the death of a close friend as she cares for his dog. She’s among 175 recipients of this year’s grants, which aim to give awardees the financial freedom to pursue their creative work.

Twenty-two of the city’s 25,000 paraprofessionals have died from the coronavirus, a rate four times higher than the rest of the 150,000-employee Department of Education, according to the agency’s data.

The next opportunity to take the test is Aug. 29, and the College Board will offer an additional chance to take the test in September if students are able to return to school.

CUNY students, whose median family income is $40,000 a year, say it’s the worst possible time to face additional expenses.

The bulk of students taking the test do so before starting Kindergarten—an aspect of the process critics say privileges parents with the money and savvy to prepare their young kids for the high-stakes exams.

Schools chancellor Richard Carranza put the kibosh on the app in early April, several weeks into the city’s seismic shift to remote learning, citing concerns about Zoom’s privacy and security features.
