The report mentions this and for Sweden there was a study that found that school staff had no increased risk of exposure.

In that report (see reference 6) for example taxi drivers had 4 times the increased risk of exposure compared to teachers of primary school.

And yet, in other cases (e.g. Israel) infections have spiked after school reopenings. The evidence is highly mixed, so it's very important not to cherry-pick cases that only support one's hoped-for policy outcome.
