[quote=Anonymous]Before closing they should:

-Make outdoor lunch mandatory; open windows
-Make testing mandatory and daily (rapid tests for everyone every damn day)
-put a quarantine policy in place for travel out of the state
-close restaurants and indoor events
-send the work force back to telework as possible

I realize these things wont' happen.  But kids have paid the price for adults not doing enough for WAY too long.  My 2nd grader can barely read because she left Kindergarten without a solid enough foundation and then was just told to do Lexia for a year during 1st grade.  She made a little progress, but she is WAY BEHIND where she should be because she has not had the instruction she needs.  Her teacher certainly tried, but it was a garbage year.  She's young enough to catch up, and we have resources, but she needs to be IN SCHOOL.

I was mostly supportive of school closures last year.  I realized the tough spot we were in with so many unknowns.  But now we know 2 things: kids do not suffer from covid FOR THE MOST PART and virtual school does not work FOR THE MOST PART.
