The administration of President Joe Biden is moving forward with its plans to help schools reopen this spring. The administration is making money available to expand coronavirus testing for teachers, students, and other school workers. It is also planning an event for educators to share “best practices,” or good methods, for returning students to the classroom. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Wednesday, “The time is now, and schools must act immediately to get students safely back into school buildings.” Biden promised to have most elementary and middle schools open by the end of his first 100 days in office. The administration has been pointing to legislation passed by Congress that provides $1.9 trillion for COVID-19 assistance as a way to reach that goal. The Education Department said American states will share $122 billion for K-12 schools to reopen.
