Report: Schools Can Safely Reopen
An urgent need exists to reopen schools soon, and this can be done safely, a report indicates.
The Walton Family Foundation, American Enterprise Institute (AEI), and five other nonprofits paid for the report published in March and will be presented to Congress. The report examined the findings from more than 120 studies that were done over this past year due to public schools’ nationwide closures. The studies covered a wide range of topics, including risks for children, transmissibility concerns, and the impact of school reopenings on community spread—this led to the study about how schools can reopen and do so safely.
