On Tuesday, April 13, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will continue the "Help is Here" School Reopening Tour, where he will visit Mary Harris "Mother" Jones Elementary School Adelphi, Maryland. The visits are part of the Biden-Harris Administration's broader efforts to support states, schools, students, parents, and educators as they navigate returning to in-person learning and highlight how the American Rescue Plan will aid them in these efforts.
During the "Help is Here" tour, Secretary Cardona will visit schools that have successfully reopened and stayed open to highlight best practices and discuss how schools can ensure reopening efforts are advancing educational equity. He will also visit schools that are facing challenges as they work to reopen to provide educators with encouragement, support, and technical assistance. Secretary Cardona will share what he is hearing and learning on the visits with other states and districts and across the Biden-Harris Administration to help more schools reopen quickly and safely and reach the President's goal of reopening the majority of K-8 schools within the first 100 days of his administration.
This visit will consist of a stop in Adelphi, Maryland, on Tuesday, April 13. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the footage will be pooled by WJLA-TV. If you are interested in receiving the footage, please email press@ed.gov.
