Jake Tapper pushes back against the CDC Director on their guidelines that now recommend essentially all schools remain closed for in-person instruction:

The new CDC guidelines incorporate positivity rates from the overall community

Following this metric would keep almost all schools closed

But the positivity rates in the schools tend to be much lower

And schools aren't major contributors of overall community transmission.

NYC positivity rate: 7.82%
NYC school positivity rate: 0.55%

fund students not systems

"Dollars following a child to another provider could leave public schools with fewer funds.

But that's not siphoning. It's connecting the money to the people it is most supposed to serve — children — & the funds only leave if a family has found an education provider it prefers"

"A family taking money for their child’s education from a public to a private school no more siphons dollars from a public school than choosing to go to Price Chopper siphons from Hy-Vee."
