The agreement will also establish a virtual learning program to allow students to take classes at non-traditional times like nights and weekends.
It will make NYC the first major school system in the nation to offer an expansive voluntary virtual learning program, offering some parents and teachers the flexibility to take classes on nights and weekends.
The teachers' union president says during the pandemic, it became clear that virtual learning can be extremely useful for students who need to catch up. "This is the hardest and most challenging school district in this country to teach in," Mulgrew said. "But our teachers love it. Our guidance counselors love it. Our therapists, social workers, psychologists, they take that challenge on, they wear that badge proudly."
