(THE COLLEGE FIX) — New York City schools will excuse absences for students who wish to participate in “climate strikes” taking place at various locales on September 20.
Those Interested will need parental permission, and “younger” students must be accompanied by a parent, according to a school district tweet.
“We applaud our students when they raise their voices in a safe and respectful manner on issues that matter to them,” another district tweet read.
