New York resumes in-person classes on Tuesday after historic snowstorm

New York City will resume in-person classes in public schools on February 24 following a significant snowstorm that affected the area over the weekend.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed that public schools will return to in-person classes on Tuesday, February 24, after a heavy snowfall disrupted city activities over the weekend. The announcement was made during a press conference in Brooklyn, where Mamdani expressed the challenges posed by the recent weather incident.

The schools, which were closed on Monday, February 23, will return to their regular schedules and activities. Chancellor of the school system, Kamar H. Samuels, assured that all schools would be open and fully operational, supporting the effort to return to normalcy in education after the abrupt interruption caused by the storm. The city is preparing for the return, keeping the safety of students and staff in mind.

Reports from the National Weather Service indicated significant snow accumulations across New York and New Jersey. While it is expected that strong winds will lessen later in the day, forecasts suggest that further snowfall could affect the region in the days ahead, prompting continued monitoring of the weather conditions as schools prepare to welcome students back.
