A delta between public and private schools isn't sustainable. More likely that private schools will close than public schools will open. The numbers aren't going down anytime soon.
Tough call. Everyone knows that the public school closures are a union cave in that is not based on science by any account (public schools have a positivity rate well under 1%) and is harming the students. De Blasio and Cuomo boxed themselves into a corner when they negotiated with the unions months ago. It’s unlikely there will be any appetite to close private schools unless numbers rise dramatically.
