LIVE UPDATES: Psaki admits parents shouldn't be 'satisfied' with in-person school one day a week
Published February 12, 2021
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said parents shouldn’t be satisfied with schools reopening one day a week as the White House works toward its goal of at least partially reopening schools by President Biden's 100th day in office.
- Asked why parents should be satisfied with sending their kids to school one day per week, Psaki replied, "They shouldn’t be. I wouldn’t be as a parent, and I am a parent, I should say. I have two young kids."
- The Biden administration has said they want to see 50% percent of schools open at least one day per week. But according to Burbio’s school reopening tracker, the White House goal was reached months ago – about 64% of schools already offer some sort of in-person learning.
