President Biden has called reopening schools a “national emergency” and said that he wants to see most K-12 schools in the United States open during his first 100 days in office, which would be between now and April. On Thursday he announced he would sign several executive actions, including measures meant to push the process along. These come after actions signed on Wednesday geared toward improving college access and providing relief for student loan borrowers. Here are the details of Thursday’s actions, as announced by the White House: https://whyy.org/npr_story_post/biden-announces-executive-actions-meant-to-help-reopen-schools/
