NEW YORK, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- About 283,000 children, or just over a quarter of New York City's public school students, have attended in-person classes since the city's school system reopened last month, Mayor Bill de Blasio told a press briefing on Monday.
"This is a number that needs to be understood as a work in progress," said the mayor. "A lot more kids could be attending in person, and we want to make sure that their families know and they know that school is safe."
