Read about new guidance released by the American Academy of Pediatrics that discusses safety measures that may allow students to return to in-person learning in the fall.
The AAP’s interim guidance states that in-person schooling is critical for having important conversations around racial and social inequality. “Evidence from spring 2020 school closures points to negative impacts on learning. Children and adolescents also have been placed at higher risk of morbidity and mortality from physical or sexual abuse, substance use, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation,” the AAP explained in aon their guidelines.
However, the guidelines state that schools should weigh the pros and cons of enforcing 6 feet of distancing. “Evidence suggests that spacing as close as 3 feet may approach the benefits of 6 feet of space, particularly if students are wearing face coverings and are asymptomatic,” the press release states. “Schools should weigh the pros and cons of enforcing 6 feet of distancing. If it is not feasible without limiting the number of students, other risk-mitigation strategies may be more favorable.
