In order to open, schools will need to comply with guidelines outlined by the health department and receive an authorization for in-person classes following an inspection.
A union representing about 17,000 teachers in Puerto Rico released a statement saying they did not believe the Puerto Rico Department of Education is ready to reopen schools safely.
