The Biden administration on Tuesday admitted that their plan to “reopen” the nation’s schools would only see about half the children back in classrooms for as little as one day per week. What’s more, the proposal could apply to as few as 50 percent of schools by the end of April. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki was asked to define the specifics of Biden’s plan as his administration faces increasing pressure to prod the teachers’ unions to get their members back into classrooms. The president made a vow to safely reopen a majority of K-8 schools in his first 100 days in office but his own public health experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci have poured cold water on that April 30 deadline. “His goal that he set is to have the majority of schools, so more than 50 percent, open by day 100 of his presidency and that means some teaching in classrooms,” Psaki said. “So at least one day a week, hopefully it’s more, and obviously it is as much as is safe in each school and local school district,” she added.
