The following is the
statement by UFT President Michael Mulgrew as calls for immediate shutdown to
all the public schools in NYC.
“We don’t suggest this
lightly,” said United Federation of Teachers President Michael
Mulgrew in a statement. “We understand the immense disruption this will
create for our families. But right now, more than a million students and staff
crisscross the city every day on their way to schools, putting themselves and
others at risk of exposure and increasing the likelihood of bringing exposure
into their homes and communities.”
“I have met with the
Mayor and outlined our reasons for urging a shutdown,” Mulgrew added.” He
believes the schools should stay open, though he has agreed to a number of
additional safeguards and accommodations. In the end, we have decided to
respectfully disagree.”
The safety of our
Children, Teacher and all the school staff safety is very important
Over 200.000 parents
signed a petition to NYC Mayor and Department of Education in regards school
closure.
