City hopes new Outdoor Learning program will be a breath of fresh air
On Monday, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza announced the creation of Outdoor Learning, a citywide initiative for the 2020-21 school year – and Sunset Park is one of the neighborhoods where it will be prioritized.
The initiative will allow schools to hold classes in schoolyards, on adjacent streets and in nearby park space.
According to the mayor, Outdoor Learning is one of many tools the city is using to guarantee a safe reopening.
