(From NPR) In an interview with National Public Radio, President Biden's new Education Secretary, Miguel Cardona, urged schools to open "as soon as possible," stressing the importance of in-person learning to student health and development. "It can be done with a careful adherence to the mitigation strategies and close monitoring and where necessary, quarantining and closing — if the numbers escalate to the point where you can't safely assure students are in schools," said Cardona. In addition to touting Biden's vaccination directive, he's also expressed support of Democrats' COVID relief bill, which would send $130 billion dollars to K-12 schools, and pledged to convene a national school reopening summit later this month.
