I went to the link you provided. It discusses the situation in Sweden and Denmark. Neither country had the community spread we have here. Of interest in your link for how Denmark opened

Denmark has placed elementary school students in pods of around 12. They eat lunch together, play together at recess, and are taught by one teacher in one socially distanced classroom.

Spacing restrictions often mean staggering arrival times or even the days on which students attend.
I don't think that is what is being proposed here. For a more comprehensive discussion of what is known and more importantly what is not known. HERE

How many new cases were identified in Germany, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark yesterday? Can you really use their experience with safety of reopening schools as a guideline to the situation in the US where we are far and away the worst petri dish in the world.
