Even as the president pushes for schools to reopen in the fall, the director of FEMA said it would likely not supply schools with face masks.
WASHINGTON — Even as the president and some governors push schools to reopen for in-person instruction in the fall, the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said on Wednesday that it would likely not work to supply schools with face masks.
A spokesperson for FEMA later explained to Yahoo News that public assistance grants were reserved for emergency operations. “Normal operation of schools and other public facilities are not emergency protective measures, so PA would not provide funding for these activities in these circumstances,” the spokesperson explained.
The White House did not respond to requests for comment about whether and how FEMA should be working on the school reopening effort. Gaynor said there were 17 funding streams dedicated to schools, though he did not say what those were, or whether they were to address masks or other aspects of school operation. A spokesperson for FEMA subsequently clarified to Yahoo News that Gaynor was discussing various measures in the CARES Act, the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package passed by Congress in March.
