The answer is that it is definitely not safe, but the question should be:
How risky is it?
There definitely is a risk and the risk is fairly high and so the next question should be:
Is reopening schools worth the risk?
The most reasonable answer to that question would be:
Probably not.
Considering reports about the new strain in Texas, I'd say that it would be insanely irresponsible to even consider reopening schools at this point. Schools have been described as germ factories and with this new highly contagious strain of the virus out there, schools would accelerate the spread, making a bad situation worse and putting a lot of kids in harm's way in the process.
