We miss the kids so much, and we know parents need some relief to be able to work.” The release quoted the school’s founder and CEO Eva Moskowitz saying “We are disappointed. “SA announced in late Spring that it would re-open on time with a hybrid model that included some time on campus for all students, pending government approval, favorable public health metrics, and being able to access buildings.” “SA had planned to open school on campus, in a hybrid model, but last week, City Hall and the Department of Education informed the network that it could not have building access until mid-September at the earliest,” according to a press release from Ann Powell, the Executive Vice President of Public Affairs for Success Academy. In an announcement Tuesday, Success Academy officials said their schools would begin their academic year remotely on August 4th for high school seniors, followed by August 24th for the rest of their 20,000 students.
