Presidents do not have the power to force open schools. Schools are controlled by local governments, with colleges controlled by state government and private boards. The Federal Government controls a few schools (West Point, and schools on military bases abroad), but very, very few.
trump tried to open schools for a year, and failed completely. The problem was he made threats, and hid information.
Biden is trying to get reasonable plans out there, and is responding to governing agencies concerns. In just three weeks, I have seen multiple colleges agree to open for in class learning this Fall. Before none were willing to commit to that, they were playing it by ear. Primary and secondary schools are opening in phases starting in a few weeks. Republicans complain that students will only go in one day a week at first, but that is a full day more than trump was able to get. As trust rises, it will be more days.
There are several problems coming. England shutdown their schools, again, because they found the new strain was more transmittable by younger people than the old strain. We are getting the new strain, so plans might change a month from now.
But we are moving in the right direction.
