President Biden promised to reopen schools within 100 days of taking office, yet just recently his press secretary significantly walked back on this promise, giving a less than ambitious goal parents wanted to hear. President Biden's new "goal" is to see our nation's schools hold in-person classes just once a week by the end of April. This is unacceptable — America's students deserve better.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) sent a letter with other Congressional leaders to the Biden Administration, urging them to withdraw the nomination of Representative Deb Haaland (D-NM) as Secretary of the Interior.
