[quote=Anonymous]Just gonna leave this here as to why legal action for FCPS SB and teachers federation is warranted:

Studies that show little or no risk of student to teacher transmission:

North Carolina: https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/ped...1/06/peds.2020-048090.full.pdf

RESULTS: Over 9 weeks, 11 participating school districts had more than 90,000 students and
staff attend school in-person; of these, there were 773 community-acquired SARS-CoV-2
infections documented by molecular testing. Through contact tracing, NC health department staff
determined an additional 32 infections were acquired within schools. No instances of child-toadult transmission of SARS-CoV-2 were reported within schools.
CONCLUSIONS: In the first 9 weeks of in-person instruction in NC schools, we found
extremely limited within-school secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2, as determined by
contact tracing.

Wisconsin: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7004e3.htm

Among 17 rural Wisconsin schools, reported student mask-wearing was high, and the COVID-19 incidence among students and staff members was lower than in the county overall (3,453 versus 5,466 per 100,000). Among 191 cases identified in students and staff members, only seven (3.7%) cases, all among students, were linked to in-school spread. What are the implications for public health practice? With masking requirements and student cohorting, transmission risk within schools appeared low, suggesting that schools might be able to safely open with appropriate mitigation efforts in place.
