COUNCIL MEMBER FERNANDO CABRERA PRAISES DECISION TO DELAY REOPENING OF SCHOOLS

Bronx, NY – Today Council Member Fernando Cabrera praised Mayor deBlasio’s decision to delay the reopening of schools until September 21^st.  “This is the right decision,” said Cabrera.  I’ve stood with the UFT to urge the mayor to ensure the safety of teachers, children and school staff, and working together, we have prevailed.  The decision to delay schools reopening until the end of September allows teachers to plan for a new school year under conditions never experienced in the past.  I commend the great work of the UFT, the DOE, CSA and Mayor deBlasio to ensure safe and healthy conditions in our schools.  Mayor deBlasio’s office now needs to work with the UFT and parents to execute the preparation. We can get this right.”

Council Member Cabrera is available for interviews.
