1:58Now PlayingPresumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden unveiled Friday a plan to reopen schools in the era of the coronavius pandemic.
In a video recorded with his wife Jill, a former teacher, Biden said that the first step to reopening schools was reducing virus cases across the country.
"Everyone wants our schools to reopen. The question is how to make it safe, how to make it stick," Biden said. "Forcing educators and students back into a classroom in areas where the infection rate is going up or remaining very high is just plain dangerous."
Biden is seeking to establish federal safety guidelines based on science, not political pressure, while ultimately leaving final decisions up to state and local officials.
Biden's proposal to resume classes comes as the White House argues that most parents are anxious to see schools resume in-person classes in the fall. President Donald Trump says the decision to possibly avoid doing so in some areas is more motivated by politics than legitimate fears about the pandemic.
