Students will be returning to class in New York City in September, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio.

De Blasio said he intends to have as many students as possible attend in-person classes in September despite the lingering coronavirus pandemic. He said that a survey conducted by the city’s Department of Education yielded more than 400,000 responses from parents who overwhelmingly said they want their children to go back to school.
