NEW YORK — Remote learning remains off the table for immunocompromised students in New York City, but they will be given the option of having a licensed instructor teach them at home, the Department of Education told PIX11 on Tuesday.
A DOE spokesperson said the in-home instruction program has been around since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our home instruction program, which benefits a small number of children who are medically unable to attend school, will continue as it did pre-pandemic, and we will work with families to tailor the instruction based on the medical needs of each child,” the spokesperson said.
