Read all of the questions that parents, teachers and students asked during TODAY's town hall with CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona.

WALENSKY: We're waiting for the companies to submit the data to the . We're anticipating that will happen in the fall. We will look at that data from the FDA, from the CDC, with the urgency that we all feel for getting our kids vaccinated, and we're hoping by the end of the year. ... We anticipate moving quickly, but we also want to have the efficacy data and the safety data that FDA will require so that we know as soon as it is available ...

How can we support smaller class sizes to make sure that young minds get the individual attention they need to develop, especially after a year filled with isolation? CARDONA: Two-thirds of the people across the country agree with mask mandates. We all want our children to be safe. I've visited 17 different states to talk to students directly. They're not as concerned about the masks as the adults are. They want to get to their games after school, they want to be able to see their friends and they know that if they're not masked, there's a greater likelihood that school is going to be disrupted.

CARDONA: Education is a unifier. We all want the best for our kids, and I'm excited that we can get back to the business of teaching and learning. I'm confident that we're going to do that. Reopening schools in the midst of a pandemic is difficult work, but if we, as educators, model how to do it respectfully, I think our kids are gonna be better off for it.

CARDONA: We found last year that the conditions for educating students in a virtual or hybrid model weren't ideal, and we have the tools to make sure that we can get students in the classroom safely and without interruption. We should be able to keep students safely in school and provide an alternative for students who are quarantined using different staff. The American Rescue Plan provided the funds.
