Teachers' unions have pushed back on calls, including from Trump, to fully reopen schools this fall. Many school districts across the country, including San Diego, Los Angeles and Baltimore, have said they will begin the academic year with virtual classes. Other districts, like Fairfax, Va., and New York City, are planning a hybrid approach in which students will spend some time in the classroom and take classes virtually on other days.
The AFT and Florida Education Association filed a lawsuit Monday against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, and other Florida education officials. The teachers oppose the state’s plan to have students in school full time in the fall.
The Council of Chief State School Officers said in a statement to CQ Roll Call that federal aid is needed to help “to cover costs to reopen schools safely, ensure students have access to technology, and address any learning loss that has occurred.”
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Consumer Brands Association have also individually petitioned officials to provide support for going back to school. The chamber asked Trump and congressional leaders to provide additional funds for schools, warning that teachers in some regions have begun receiving layoff notices, even though schools may need to employ more teachers this year to provide for social distancing. The group also urged additional support for child care centers.
The Consumer Brands Association said in its letter to Vice President Mike Pence that the administration should take steps to make sure schools have adequate cleaning supplies.
