Karen Dette, left, Director of Good Shepherd Services, hands a portable internet hot spot to student Jovanny Mendez, at West Brooklyn Community High School in the Brooklyn borough of New York, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020, after the school's principal announced that schools would be closing "until further notice," due to rising cases of coronavirus in the city. This is the third time the school has had to shut down, along with all New York City public schools. New York City's mayor says he's shuttering schools to try to stop the renewed spread of the coronavirus. It's a painful about-face for one of the first big U.S. school systems to bring students back to classrooms this fall. The mayor and schools chancellor announced Wednesday that school buildings will close Thursday. West Brooklyn has been providing hot spots and portable laptop computers to students who don't have access to the internet so they can complete their school work remotely. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
