A union representing teachers in New Haven, Connecticut, said they were surprised to learn Tuesday that the school board voted to offer in-class instruction to some students starting next week.
Monday was the first day back at school for many of New York’s kindergarten through 12th grade students, though some students will learn remotely. Health officials say they will monitor whether the in-person classes cause any outbreaks of COVID-19.
In Connecticut, three schools were temporarily closed this week and staff from several others sent home to quarantine because of positive COVID-19 tests. The decisions were made by local school officials.
