The White House has said teachers are essential workers and must attend schools. They are encouraging in person learning even with a risk of exposure to COVID-19.
According to Vice President Pence, he told FOX News teachers will be getting PPE resources available for their schools.
What that is, is when you're declared an essential it means you're going to be prioritized for things like PPE and support. But we want to get our kids back to school, but we also want our teachers to know that we're going to make the resources available so that their schools can be a safe environment.
