President Trump warned to withhold the funding of public school if they do not open in the fall amid the Coronavirus pandemic.President Donald Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos have told public school communities that they must fully open for the 2020-2021 academic year during the coronavirus pandemic. They have also threatened to withhold federal funding from schools that don’t open. Citing several European countries in a tweet, Trump said schools can be open and that the administration “may cut off funding” if America doesn’t do the same. President Trump pressured the government’s public health experts on July 8 to list down instructions for how the nation’s schools could reopen safely. The President attacked his own administration’s health guidelines for reopening schools by calling them difficult, expensive, and impractical in his tweet. People in the CDC are re-working on Guidelines, which will be feasible for all the schools.
