Our children have been out of the classroom for nine months now. Keeping children out of the classroom is NOT supported by any scientific data. The most recent guideline from the County Health Officer has made it IMPOSSIBLE for students in grades 6-12 to return to the classroom. Sick people get quarantined. At risk people should protect themselves. Healthy people should be free to live and get an education. If a grocery store clerk is considered an essential worker, why aren't our teachers? This board and Health Officer MUST take action to get students back into the classroom. This virus doesn't kill children any more than than the flu. By keeping them out of the classroom you are putting them at a greater risk than the virus; risk of abuse, neglect, depression, suicide, and falling behind academically. This will lead to a noon-productive, non-taxpaying citizen in the future; a destruction of our future. Why does the rest of the world recognize this and not you?
