Please do not start schools in the fall with masks, social distancing and contact tracing.
Why is it already in writing that students will be masked and kept away from each other? You can’t tell the future.
This stopped being about student health long ago, and you all know it. It’s no secret; parents can see it’s just everyone toeing the line.
Since March 2020, everyone has just been doing with their boss tells them. Well, you guys have some pull. Who is going to stop this nonsense?
Instead of dialing restrictions back, you’re already planning to have restrictions in the future, before more cases of COVID-19 have even happened. That’s simply unethical.
You can see the effects of your coronavirus measures: Bus driver shortages, needing to lay off teachers due to so many students unenrolling from the school district, so many graduates failing classes that you’ve had to create waivers for not getting the required 24 credits, students missing scholarship opportunities, etc.
To “plan ahead” for continuing on with these COVID-19 restrictions is to willingly and knowingly choose to create more of these bad things.
You all have the chance, now, to make sure these kinds of human and child rights violations don’t keep happening.
Who among you will be brave?
