In most cases, "pivot[ing] to remote" just means de facto cancelling. If you want to cancel something that's cool, that's how life goes sometimes but it's been 4 years since COVID hit just own up to it! https://t.co/rsz7SZ6kkS

It has been 4 years since Covid hit. Covid happens EVERY election year now Nate. Get with the program…
COVID wastewater levels are the highest they’ve been in 2 years
The concentration of COVID-19 in Greater Boston's wastewater is at the second-highest level since the start of the pandemic.

See Nate? We never left the pandemic emergency…did you get your stack of absentee ballots yet?
Just another example of how Democrat (and GOPe) policy (unrestricted immigration) and its unforeseen consequences will drive voters into the arms of the the Trumpites, deservedly or not.
I never see any of our Leftist friends here defend this policy. I'd like to hear it.
"Catch-and-release" needs to be replaced with "round up-and-deport." The millions of illegals who have swarmed our borders under the Biden regime need to be sent back where they came from.

Back when I attended New York public school there was a mandatory minimum number of days students were required to be i. attendance. The year we had a bunch of snow says we had to make them up at the end of the school year, after finals were complete. It was nearly July. That’s not cool…
Many would like the immigrants to pivot to remote — apply for asylum at our embassies in other countries.
When the village raises our kids they become pawns in the larger political process.
Wealthy, tightly-managed, high density blue cities inadvertently destroyed their underlying assumptions and reason for being following the mostly peaceful summer of 2020.
The list of self-destructive blue city actions is getting sooooooo long now: high crime per lack of policing, defunding the police, homeless tents across downtowns, arson, bullying healthcare workers and police to take dubious vaccines, mandatory masking, destroying the futures of inner-city children so that members of the teacher's unions didn't face exposure to COVID (or something), high minimum wages and equity taxes that killed restaurants, high income taxes drove wealthy residents to remote work or other states, rampant shoplifting that killed retail stores, nonenforcement of immigration laws in sanctuary cities, and here further harming students...because...
In having spoken with some people who favored most or all of the above, I think they 'meant well' in their own minds. They generally follow insider authorities (e.g., media, party) very closely and don't pick up on other sources of information. Criticism mainly puzzles them.
This ends only through (several years) suffering, self-reflection, and learning, or with a permanent conversion of blue cities into squalid, chaotic messes. Have they formed a new Rust Belt?
Seeing as how school funding is a special line item, pushing out students to temporarily convert the school into a hotel (are they zoned for habitation?) seems like budgetary fraud.

In California (coming SOON, to a state near YOU), you can just print them out at home.. many as you want
PIVOT! PIVOT! PIVOT!!
Believe people when they tell—and show—you what their priorities are.
Great replacement theory: in order the ensure themselves a permanent governing majority, the Democratic Party wants to import a new set of voters to displace native born Americans.
Great Replacement Fact: the Democratic Party has imported millions of unvetted foreigners. In order to house them, Democrats have cut services and kicked American veterans out of hotels. Now they sre throwing American students out of school in order to house these invaders they invited in.
This is how you tell who is and isn’t important to the powers that be.
Become a sanctuary city, they said. It will be fun, they said.
I do tire of our betters being repeatedly proven wrong, only for them to learn nothing. I think learning nothing is the point. The point is to force everyone to accept abject stupidity.
NYC virtue signaled that it is a “sanctuary city”. Thanks to Governor Abbott of Texas NYC is learning that virtue signaling may not be aa easy or as cheap as it thought. Somehow I doubt NYC politicians will truly take the lesson to heart.
Great optics. Now all we need is video of the angry old man yelling at some reporter or parent for asking about this.
A humble suggestion:
Why not house the illegals in the Capital Building and let Congress stay home and ass-ram America remotely?
Is this the new way to jerk your thumb and say, 'get the f*ck outta here' in New York? The only kindler, gentler thing I'm seeing around here these days, is the way the carpet gets rolled out by virtuous politicians for illegal aliens, as they proceed to give away what belongs to other people (citizens), to a horde that nobody wants here because they have little to offer besides criminal behavior and a drain on the resources society sets aside for a safety net - for their citizens.
The Catholic church is funding a whole lot of this through NGOs here and in Europe, and they're doing it with the conspiratorial help of Progressive governments like the one presently in power in the US. We're getting what we didn't ask for, good and hard. I hope the border states keep ramping up their program of bus and plane loading.
pivot is a Barack Obama word.
There are probably no other large buildings that the city owns. Any other building the city would have to pay the owner a fee.
Wow, Bob Boyd, love your phrasing and imagery.
If this were my kid being pushed out of school, I would be very angry.
Sorry.
"pivoting to remote"
That's our progs. Not: we'll kick out your kids for illegals, not: school's out for taxpayers. But something nice and anodyne: we're just pivoting to remote, nice women of New York, and how could you possibly object to that nice Covidy policy? I mean, you liked it back during real Covid, didn't you? And isn't nicer to have your kids at home, working on their computer next to you? I mean, just read the New Yorker. We're doing you a favor. Win-win.

Kathy Hochul (wearing a tinsel halo) literally begged for "migrants" to descend on New York and devour its substance like locusts. Now she's complaining about those horrible Texans. New York City did the same when the City Council declared the metropolis a "sanctuary city" with a "right to shelter" for anyone. And so the citizens of New York, the struggling middle-class citizens almost entirely, find themselves paying and paying and paying, surrendering money and surrendering liberty and surrendering security, and receiving less and less and less.
Will the citizens of New York learn the obvious lesson the Democrats have taught them again and again and again?

Certainly sounds like it to me. A lawsuit should be filed yesterday with cumulative estimates of the lack of income these stolen days will result in.
Rumor mill has it that the school is in a Republican enclave in Brooklyn. So the school may have been picked for political reasons.
If you have a spare room in your house, it will soon be a crime not to report that fact to your government so they can use it to house imported voters on days when global warming is being called climate change on the weather channel.
Madison Square Garden is available. Let the Knicks and the Rangers play outside. Priorities.
Long ago was a parent of school age kids. School closings due to weather were because the weather could cause safety issues for kids. Qute often businesses were closed too. Still it was a major issue to make sure the kids were cared for.
Nothing I could do about the weather.
New York isn't closing schools because the school kids were in danger.... it's the kids of illegals.
Minimal notice? What could go wrong. Bet the city never announce that due to shortages here's a list of places where we'll kick you kids out.
If they are that short of space, and STILL won't say sanctuary no more, where are the next plane/bus/train loads going? Where is the lose the border right now calls. What say you Mayor?
Good luck legal citizen moms and dads. Your kids just fell another rung down the give a crap ladder.
Just another day of the despicable democrat party validating another "debunked" conspiracy theory. There's no such thing as The Great Replacement happening, bigots! This is just a democrat party government taking children out of schools and using the schools to warehouse the armies of illegals that democrat party members are inviting in. That's all. Remote learning is just as good as in-school, that's one of the lessons libs learned from covid.
Is this really one day only? Sure the weather may clear. But does it take some time to clear out, clean up the school?
Is there any effort to say, NYC will be prepared with another site next time? Are schools in low income or minority areas exempt?
Mr. Mayor?
James Madison High School? I thought that was verboten...
I think every time something like this is announced, all media should be required to begin their coverage of the issue with a GIF of Charles Laughton as the Hunchback, clinging to the tower of Notre Dame, shouting, "Sanctuary! Sanctuary!" as a mob grows in the square below. It would lend a correctly sensationalist note to these sensationalist actions by Adams, et al., and help people understand that while there is a problem, this solution to resolve it is old fashioned theatrics.
The government isn't even pretending anymore to serve the citizens who make the country work and otherwise just want to be left alone. It's 100% full steam ahead on empowering those in the country illegally, those who don't pay taxes or produce anything useful, and those deemed oppressed by the Marxists.
Hey, Bob Boyd, should you revisit comments, I was sincere in enjoying your pithy suggestions of "Why not house the illegals in the Capital Building and let Congress stay home and ass-ram America remotely?"
I can think of a better use for the public schools than quartering foreign invaders. But at least they stopped locking American children up in them. That is progress.
By my estimate, New York City's share of the illegal immigrants crossing the border since Biden has been President is roughly 250,000. Until they reach that number, they've got no standing to bitch.
Why not house the illegals in the Capital Building and let Congress stay home and ass-ram America remotely?

Oh, good. Thanks. Sometimes I get a little carried away.
I'm a teacher who retired the year after the shutdown.
Silver is right. Remote = Canceled, except for the dedicated teachers who actually want to try getting something done online.
The message from Adams is clear. Kids don't count. He doesn't think much of that school or he thinks the students are too dumb to bother with.
NYC has plenty of extra space, but not as nice as the school for what they are willing to pay. Which I assume is nothing.

Nailed it. Did a search for James Madison High School on maps and it is located in the red areas mapped on your link. Adams is punishing people for voting for the wrong guy just like he feels like he's punished by Texas.
