“#Teacher COVID-19 vaccinations unlikely for school reopening<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Coronavirus vaccines will likely not be mandatory for teachers in order to reopen schools, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said.<\/p>\n

Cardona made the admission Wednesday evening during an interview with \u201cNBC Nightly News\u201d<\/a> while discussing the efforts to re-launch in-person instruction for K-12 schools nationwide, saying a mandate was not needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019ve seen examples where schools can open safely and be effective. But we know that prioritizing vaccinations will only assist with that,\u201d the newly-confirmed education secretary said.<\/p>\n

Cardona went on to tout how important the vaccine was to keeping schools open, despite the administration\u2019s insistence that it would not require educators be vaccinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experience was when schools had to close, it wasn\u2019t because Covid spread within the schools. It was because we had to quarantine educators. We had to quarantine teachers,\u201d he explained, \u201cHaving the vaccination will help keep those doors open. Not only about opening schools, it\u2019s really about making sure they stay open.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardona\u2019s comments come as the administration faces ramped-up pressure to reopen schools as fed-up parents fume over delays due to teachers union resistance, despite a green light from federal health officials back in February.<\/p>\n

The administration has\u00a0shifted its positions\u00a0on everything from changing timelines on reopening to goals about\u00a0how many days per week students could return for.<\/p>\n

Pressure only increased on the administration after Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle\u00a0Walensky told lawmakers Wednesday that 3 feet of distance between students \u2014 along with the use of masks \u2014 was sufficient to keep schools safe.<\/p>\n

Speaking before the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations, Walensky said the 6-foot separation rule was the primary hurdle for the wider reopening of classrooms across the nation.<\/p>\n

Halving the distancing requirement would allow for far more students to be in their classrooms simultaneously and hasten a full return to in-person schooling.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters from the White House that same day, Cardona said that they were \u201cwanting to see schools reopen\u201d this spring, but could not say that he believed the administration would meet that goal before the fall.<\/p>\n

Still, he said, they were \u201cdoing as much as possible to safely reopen schools and get as many students as possible into the classroom this spring.\u201d<\/p>\n

The push to reopen schools has faced severe opposition from teachers\u2019 unions, who insist, despite what the CDC says, that the COVID-19 pandemic remains a serious threat to students and staffers.<\/p>\n

Roughly 70 percent of kids in New York City, the\u00a0nation\u2019s largest school system,\u00a0are still learning on a fully remote basis.<\/p>\n

Biden, a friend of the teachers unions, has refrained from using his influence to quash dissent from groups in some of the nation\u2019s largest cities.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
