State education officials asked school districts and charters to reopen to full-time, in-person learning on April 5th. A small number have not reopened due to tribal health orders.

In the evening the first lady delivered a radio address with Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and other officials. Tribes will always have a voice in our administration. And we’re committed to honoring tribal sovereignty and strengthening our nation-to-nation relationship, said Biden during the outdoor address.
