Trump’s call to reopen school buildings is dangerous for students, staff

04/28/2020
Although 43 states and the District of Columbia disagree, Donald Trump urges all states to reopen schools before the close of the 2020 academic year. NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia reacts, citing that the health experts and educators should lead the way, not the president, whose best interests are clearly not with our nation’s students, educators, and staff.
