The largest school district in the country opted for a remote after a weekend winter storm dropped nearly a foot of snow on New York City — but what is the plan for the rest of the week?

Students in the city booted up their devices Monday instead of taking a traditional snow day, to mixed reaction across the five boroughs. The snow had long since stopped falling, but many sidewalks and roads were still being treated.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels boasted about a “smooth” start to the remote instruction day during a press conference at City Hall. More than 400,000 people had been able to log into virtual class by around 9 a.m., the mayor said.

“I did visit a classroom this morning remotely alongside the chancellor and reiterated my offer to students that they could pelt me in the face with a snowball,” Mamdani said.

The day wasn’t without its hiccups. NBC New York received a number of reports of Google Classroom crashing.

Mamdani said the city is preparing to reopen school building for in-person instruction on Tuesday.

“Our goal is for all services to be fully restored by tomorrow, with all streets cleared, students back at school in person, and our city back to normal, albeit with a lot of snow piled up,” he said.

The nation’s largest school district ended its traditional snow day system when it began the 2022-23 school year. Rather than cancel school for the day, district officials implemented the remote learning system that the city developed and utilized throughout the pandemic.

During his campaign, Mamdani told Hell Gate he would honor the traditional snow day — an answer he’d quickly turnaround during one of his first major weather tests as mayor.

Over the weekend, Mamdani explained that the inclusion of new holidays onto the academic calendar makes it more challenging to meet the state-mandated 180 days of instruction. Because of that, he said, the schools must go remote.

Mamdani offered a consolation to students, however, joking during several press conferences that those missing out on a snow day can “pelt me” with a snowball.

It’s not clear yet if any New Yorkers have taken the mayor up on his invitation.
