New York City’s public schools will be closed Monday due to the weekend’s snowstorm, and students will join classes remotely, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels announced.

While students in high schools and 6-12 schools were already scheduled to be off for a teacher professional development day, most elementary and middle schools will switch to remote learning. The Mamdani administration said that will affect approximately 500,000 students across more than 1,100 schools.
