During a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Js0wuGe_Z7k&amp;t=413s\">press conference<\/a> Tuesday, secretary Jen Psaki defined the reopening of schools as in-person learning only one day per week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis (Joe Biden) goal that he set is to have the majority of schools, so more than 50 percent, open by day 100 of his presidency,\u201d she stated. \u201cAnd that means some teaching in classrooms, so at least one day a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CDC has said in recent weeks, getting vaccinations to all teachers would not be necessary to completely reopen schools given they follow other protective measures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we are implementing the criteria of the advisory committee and the state and local guidance to get vaccination across these eligible communities, I would also say that safe reopening of schools\u2026vaccination of teachers is not a per-requisite to safe reopening of schools,\u201d stated CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite those assurances, it appears the Biden White House will not be ordering schools to take the steps necessary to safely and fully reopen anytime soon. Psaki claimed the Biden administration is still waiting for CDC guidelines to be released.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur focus, really at this point in time, is waiting for the CDC guidelines to come out and give schools across the country, school districts across the country, the first medical and scientific recommendations and guidelines that have been given from the federal level,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>However, the consensus from scientists at the CDC seems clear: it\u2019s safe to start reopening schools nationwide.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Particularly for SINGLE working parents, like myself.<\/p>\n<p>Parents should be making this decision.
