School Opening: Biden to execute goal of re-opening school for K-8

COVID year bid us adieu with huge losses from economy to education sector. Schools are still under lockdown to prevent students from a deadly virus. Frustrating parents and opening a new link of attack for Republicans.

Biden is facing increasing pressure to deliver on his pledge to reopen schools. On Tuesday President Joe Biden demonstrated his goals of re-opening schools for ” five days a week ” for most K-8 schools.

The goal is to be executed by the end of his first 100 days in office after the White House received widespread criticism for scaling the target back last week.

CNN town hall in Milwaukee questioned why the White House lowered his goal to just one day of in-person schooling a week, Biden answered stating “No, that’s not true.” “That’s what was reported. It was a mistake in the communication.”

Many schools, particularly in cities, are still closed for in-person instruction and operating virtually amid the coronavirus pandemic as students in other schools attend classrooms.
According to White House press secretary Jen Psaki president’s goal is for more than 50% of schools to have “some teaching” in person “at least one day a week” – not necessarily fully reopened – by Day 100 of his presidency.

Biden said “I think that we’ll be close to that by the end of the first 100 days,” You’ll have a significant percentage of them being able to be open. My guess is they’re going to probably be pushing to open all summer, to continue like it’s a different semester.” he added. “The goal will be five days a week,” he concluded.
