New: Even before White House debuts school reopening guidance, ~64% of K-8 students nationwide are already back in the classroom in some form. GOP states w/in-person learning are pushing past Biden’s goal of “majority” K-8 schools open in 100 days. @cbsnews https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-house-school-reopening-goal/
I learned it is *very* difficult to track school reopenings. We reached out to all 50 state Ed boards & many states do not track how many schools are in-person or virtual learning. Biden admin on Friday unveiled how they plan to start collecting nationwide data soon.
"I would like to see [Mr. Biden] get in there to rebuild some trust between some of the unions and other school groups,” @ProfEmilyOster said, noting his deal making attitude should be used for schools, too.
And just a reminder: High school students are NOT currently included in Mr. Biden’s school reopening goal. I’ll be looking in the promised guidance for what to do about older students: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-school-reopening-plan-high-schools/
