Nation's Pediatricians Walk Back Support For In-Person School

preview

Doctors Say School Reopenings Must Consider Coronavirus Rates : Coronavirus Updates In a new statement made jointly with teachers unions, the American Academy of Pediatrics now says "science and community circumstances must guide decision-making."The American Academy of Pediatrics once again plunged into the growing debate over school reopening with a strong Friday, making clear that while in-person school provides crucial benefits to children, "Public health agencies must make recommendations based on evidence, not politics." The statement also said that "science and community circumstances must guide decision-making." The AAP is changing tone from the guidance it issued . Then, the organization made a national splash by recommending that education leaders and policymakers "should start with a goal of having students physically present in school." The Trump administration this week repeatedly cited the AAP in pressuring school leaders to reopen. Dr. Sally Goza, the association's president, appeared at a White House roundtable with President Trump. She later toldthat local coronavirus infection rates and hot spots have to be taken into consideration to safely reopen schools. The previous guidance was criticized for saying little about the safety of educators and other school personnel. Friday's statement, cosigned by the two national teacher unions and AASA, the School Superintendents Association, calls for putting educators as well as other stakeholders at the center of decision-making. It emphasized that reopening safely will take more money: "We call on Congress and the administration to provide the federal resources needed to ensure that inadequate funding does not stand in the way of safely educating and caring for children in our schools."Sponsor Message
