Despite pressure from the White House, CDC officials say they will not revise their guidelines for reopening schools, which includes wearing masks when possible, spreading out desks, staggering schedules, eating meals in classrooms instead of the cafeteria and adding physical barriers between bathroom sinks.
The CDC is standing by their plan to provide information to help states, communities and parents decide what to do, based on their particular situation and needs, and will issue a checklist that encourages parents to carefully consider whether they should send their kids back to school in person or seek virtual instruction.
