National Teachers Union Calls On All Schools To Shut Down

The National Education Association, the largest national teachers union in the country, is calling on all schools to shut down immediately for at least two weeks to combat the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “has recommended banning all gatherings of more than 50 people, but exempted schools. We are calling on the CDC to update their guidance and include schools for the safety of everyone,” said a statement from NEA President Lily Eskelsen García provided to HuffPost. on Monday.
