The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed social distancing guidelines for schools, saying students can now sit 3 feet apart in classrooms. The advice represents a change from the 6-foot standard that forced some schools to remove desks. apne.ws/rHc7gJl

Look, you need to have all the mitigation strategies in place before you can actually have a conversation about distancing. Teachers still want and need 6 feet, especially becausre many districts haven't been able to meet other guidelines npr.org/sections/coronavirus…

A $4.05 billion funding gap has left schools severely understaffed, resulted in larger class sizes and extreme overcrowding, eroded academic intervention, mental health and interpretation services, and led to cuts of hundreds of positions and programs. nysut.org/news/nysut-united/…

.@cdc just came to the opposite conclusion, as did the Cuomo school reopening committee last summer. This is about what’s needed to limit transmission of #covid, not how one squeezes more kids into class - syracuse.com syracuse.com/schools/2021/02…

.@teachcardona deeply respects educators & unions. His commitment to collaboration will be crucial to providing the resources needed to safely reopen schools. Write to your Senator and tell them to confirm Cardona for Secretary of Education. actionnetwork.org/letters/co… @AFTUnion
