A House investigative panel wants to hear from Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, about her role in keeping schools closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, invited Weingarten on Tuesday to testify at a hearing scheduled for April 26.
The COVID-19 panel is investigating what role teachers unions played in the decision by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to keep schools closed longer than many experts said was necessary.
