Sec. DeVos defends Trump admin.’s push to reopen schools in the fall amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic, saying that having schools offer a hybrid of virtual and in-person learning is 'not a valid choice for families.'
"But we do have to do that safely," he added."And the first thing we need to do is we need to get the virus under control. When we get the virus more under control, then we can really think about how we put children back in the classroom."
"This is appalling," Pelosi said of the push to have kids back in school."The president and his administration are messing with the health of our children. We all want our children to go back to school. Teachers do. Parents do. And children do. But they must go back safely." On NBC's"Meet the Press," Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of Florida’s Miami-Dade County Public Schools district, said the district is"going to obviously do our very best in our community considering where the health data currently is."
"But we need the community's collaboration, we need the science to drive the practice rather than politics influencing what is legitimately a community concern," he added. Dr. Tom Inglesby, director of the Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told"Fox News Sunday" that issuing an ultimatum for schools to open is wrongheaded.
