[F]amily advocates told THE CITY that students who struggled to pivot to remote learning last year could again be vulnerable to increased scrutiny.

“I think what we’re worried about is, for example, children go back to school, they’re there in person, and then there are these sudden switches to remote learning,” said Gabriel Freiman, head of the education practice at Brooklyn Defender Services.

Freiman told THE CITY that some of his clients had problems getting both DOE-issued tablets and internet access.

“For those families, I think we are worried that there could be significant school closures, even under the DOE’s new policies,” he added. “Some families will have more scrutiny than others, and that scrutiny won’t happen in an equitable way.”
