In one month or less, we expect a number of schools operating in-person will
experience severe outbreaks and will have to implement quarantine procedures or
close. Nearly every school will either be forced to go virtual-only or will be pressured
by members of government and community members to continue in-person
education, putting students and teachers at direct risk. Periodic quarantines and
school shut-downs and re-openings will create child-care issues for most parents,
putting additional stress on businesses and their employees.
You have already worked to assess and understand the risks inherent to reopening
and operating schools. The effects of the reopening plans to date are evident - kids
and teachers are still unprotected and getting sick, education will be disrupted, and
more people will needlessly die.
We've compiled a list of questions that you have asked yourselves and answered when
preparing your community for your school districts’ reopening. Send us your
responses as quickly as possible, so we can understand where your community needs
additional resources and support from your legislators. Here’s what we need you to
do:
1.
Please review our plan to Keep Teachers Teaching
