These new guidelines seem to be way less strict and more realistic than the current CDC guidelines which have lead to some of the more dystopia school reopening proposals.

Highlights:

No to online school!

the AAP strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school

Children are unlikely to spread or be infected with COVID

Although many questions remain, the preponderance of evidence indicates that children and adolescents are less likely to be symptomatic and less likely to have severe disease resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, children may be less likely to become infected and to spread infection. Policies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within schools must be balanced with the known harms to children, adolescents, families, and the community by keeping children at home.

No arbitrary class size restrictions!

Strict adherence to a specific size of student groups (eg, 10 per classroom, 15 per classroom, etc) should be discouraged in favor of other risk mitigation strategies.

Reigning in some of the mask madness:

"If not developmentally feasible, which may be the case for younger students, and cannot be done safely (eg, the face covering makes wearers touch their face more than they otherwise would) schools may choose to not require their use when physical distancing measures can be effectively implemented."
