You have to actually stop the virus.
European nations have been able to reopen schools without much trouble.

If you treat reopening the economy as the primary goal and stopping the virus as a secondary one, you don't stop the virus, and your effort to reopen the economy will fail.
If you want cases low enough to open schools, which seems crucial for both the education of the kids and the broader economy, you probably want to stop prioritizing the reopening of e.g. bars and restaurants. Send them more money instead.
UPDATE: We're not going to stop the virus. The federal government is not interested in doing that.
