This comes after new guidelines were released by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/community\/schools-childcare\/schools.html\">CDC<\/a> last week with specific steps that schools can take to get children back in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/lot-things-open-schools-vaccinating-teachers-fauci\/story?id=75883336\">ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week,<\/a>\u201d Dr. Fauci was asked by <span class=\"rollover-people\" data-behavior=\"rolloverpeople\">George Stephanopoulos about the directions released by the CDC and the lack of vaccination requirements for teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The White House chief medical adviser said that it is \u201ctotally understandable\u201d that teachers have concern, but \u201cthe issue is that there are a lot of things that can be done. And they are really delineated pretty clearly in \u2026 the guidelines that are coming out that would make the risk less.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that this is the first time such a comprehensive document has been released, saying that vaccinating teachers is part of it, but \u201cit\u2019s not something that you can\u2019t open a school unless all the teachers are vaccinated. That would be optimal if you could do that, but practically speaking, when you balance the benefit of getting the children back to school with the fact that the risks are being mitigated if you follow the recommendations and these new guidelines from the CDC, hopefully, I think that will alleviate the concerns on both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"rollover-people\" data-behavior=\"rolloverpeople\">Stephanopoulos made the point that these are guidelines, not requirements, and asked Fauci how confident he is that the recommendations will be followed. He also asked if school districts have the resources they need to open safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fauci focused on the second part of the host\u2019s question, responding:&nbsp;\u201cI think that the schools really do need more resources, and that\u2019s the reason why the national relief act that we\u2019re talking about getting passed <span><em>\u2014<\/em><\/span><em>&nbsp;<\/em>we need that. The schools need more resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci added that it\u2019s important to get children back to school in a way that is \u201csafe for the children, but also safe for the teachers and the other educators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. <span class=\"rollover-people\" data-behavior=\"rolloverpeople\">Rochelle Walensky<\/span> discussed the relationship between school <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cdc-director-schools-can-open-without-teacher-vaccines-but-require-mandatory-masking\">re-opening guidelines<\/a> and vaccination requirements over the weekend, as well.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by The Daily Wire:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span class=\"rollover-people\" data-behavior=\"rolloverpeople\">\u2026Walensky told CNN Sunday that teachers do not to be vaccinated in order to return to classrooms but suggested that schools would need to require \u201cuniversal masking\u201d in order to safely return to in-person learning.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m a strong advocate of teachers receiving their vaccinations, but we don\u2019t believe it\u2019s a prerequisite for reopening schools,\u201d Walensky told host Jake Tapper.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last week, committees in the House refashioned parts of the stimulus bill, which is expected to be put into one piece of legislation early next week by the House Budget Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Included in the restructuring of the package was the controversial proposal to increase the minimum wage to $15.
