As are most of the private schools in this city.

Life is full of risk. We get in a car, we take a risk. Heck, we walk outside our house we take a risk.

In the United States:

1,663 children and teens die of gun violence every year.

In 2019-2020 flu season, 188 children died of the flu.

As of Dec. 17, 2020, 172 children had died of COVID.

We don't shut down schools because of gun violence. We don't shut down schools because of the flu. There are no virtual options because of gun violence or the flu. There is a risk associated with going to school in the time of COVID. There is a virtual option available for those who are not comfortable with this risk. But all children should not be denied the opportunity to attend school because some parents are not comfortable with the risk of COVID.

I have a kindergartener at Lafayette. 48% of kindergarteners at Lafayette are below grade level (twice the percentage compared to last year). If these are the stats at Lafayette, can you imagine what they are like elsewhere? I am so glad my child will be at school for a full day four days a week. And I wish this were the case for more children in this city.
