Top Biden administration officials insisted on Sunday that K-8 schools can safely reopen by April, even without requiring all teachers to be vaccinated first, as some states make educators a priority for Covid-19 shots.

White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki underscored that President Joe Biden wants to see those schools open for five days a week of in-classroom learning after his first 100 days in office, meaning by the end of April.
