Yeah, the CDC is basically just saying that fully reopening schools carries higher risk of spreading Covid-19 than not doing so, which of course it does. The New York Times is carefully misleading people about this for nakedly partisan, anti-Trump ends. It's not the only bit of shady narrative-pushing in that article - notice how they also initially describe this information as coming from an internal CDC document and darkly hint that Trump might be supressing it so that he could push to reopen schools, before half-admitting that the same information has been on the CDC website since May deep into the article.
