New CDC study suggests this view is incorrect:

[b]"The CDC study noted that in the week beginning Dec. 6, coronavirus cases among the general population in counties where K-12 schools opened for in-person learning were similar to rates in counties that were online only.

“CDC recommends that K-12 schools be the last settings to close after all other mitigation measures have been employed and the first to reopen when they can do so safely,” the authors of the report wrote."[/b]

Also:

[b]"The smaller number of cases among younger children suggest the risk for COVID-19 introduction and transmission in child care centers and elementary schools “might be lower” than reopening high schools and institutions of higher education, the authors wrote."[/b]

So it seems that there should be a priority on keeping schools open, at least at the elementary level.

The CDC regularly changes its position and yes, it  would be nice to keep schools open but we'd need the entire community to get on board and help stop the spread which isn't  happening.  It is very  risky to  open schools when kids transmit covid.  They recommend it be the last setting after everything else is done but most people aren't willing to go under lockdown to make that happen.  Read what they are saying.  When it can be safely done.  The school districts don't feel it can be safely done.[/quote]
