    THE CITY OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE MAYOR NEW YORK, NY 10007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 21, 2021 CONTACT: [email protected], (212) 788-2958 TRANSCRIPT: MAYOR DE BLASIO APPEARS LIVE ON THE BRIAN LEHRER SHOW Brian Lehrer: Now it’s time for our weekly Ask the Mayor segment, my questions and yours for Mayor Bill de Blasio at 646-435-7280, 646-435-7280 – or you can tweet a question @BrianLehrer. Good morning, Mr. Mayor. Welcome back to WNYC. Mayor Bill de Blasio: Good morning, Brian. How are you doing today? Lehrer: Good. Let me ask you first about full capacity schools for this fall, which you said is your goal. Gothamist has an article called "Social Distancing Requirements Will Be Pivotal In NYC Schools Reopening Next Fall," and it's about the CDC guidelines for three feet of distance between kids in the younger grades, still six feet at the middle and high school level. The City has adopted those standards, but you have principals and the teachers union who say most classrooms are too small for that much distancing. So, they need many more rooms that they than they have in each building, which would also mean many more teachers than they currently have to staff those rooms. Do you have a solution to that math problem? Mayor: Yeah. First of all, it's May. I don't mean this to be facetious. I mean, it's to be really straightforward. It's May 21st, and we're talking about when school opens, you know, after Labor Day in September.
