Trump administration moves to exempt teachers from quarantine requirements
The Trump administration has issued new guidance designating teachers "critical infrastructure workers," potentially clearing the way to exempt them from quarantine requirements.
Health officials in South Carolina also designated teachers critical infrastructure workers, according to The Associated Press. The school board in Greene County in Eastern Tennessee, meanwhile, voted to give the designation to teachers in July. Several other Georgia and Tennessee districts have also announced they intend to bring asymptomatic teachers back to in-person instruction.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) has said his administration will accept the federal designation and allow individual districts to follow it.
"The decision is the district's," he said in a Tuesday news conference, according to the AP. "If they make that decision, we have given them guidance that they must follow if they choose that critical infrastructure designation."
