Report with 9 Recommendations for Reopening US Schools
In a report on reopening schools in the United States, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine offers an updated review of the evidence from around the world and a set of recommendations on mitigation strategies for the coronavirus in school settings. Among the recommendations are prioritizing full-time, in-person learning in kindergarten through fifth grade and having students with special needs and staff wear masks. The report adds to a large reading list of back-to-school guidance that now includes comprehensive recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Federation of Teachers, and every US state except Kansas. What stands out in this particular report is its emphasis on collaboration with public health authorities and focus not just on recommendations for action now but also on decision-making strategies for schools under conditions that will continue to change.
