In his words;

“We sat down, looked at the figures and decided school should not open. Unfortunately we have to state this because it is not a collective decision, but you must understand that the schools we are talking about, the federal government has only 100 out of the thousands of schools.

“The schools are under the jurisdiction of states and just as the PTF was unanimous in saying that schools should not open, states were unanimous that schools should open.”
