"Schools Contemplate Adapting to CDC's Relaxed COVID Guidelines"

The CDC has relaxed COVID guidelines, allowing children to return to school when symptoms improve and they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication. However, individual schools and child care centers may not immediately adopt these changes, leading to a confusing array of policies across states and districts. Some states and districts have already implemented more lenient guidelines, while others continue to enforce stricter measures. The varying policies have significant implications for working parents and have sparked concerns about the potential impact on communities, particularly for vulnerable populations.
