    This is Crazy. If the Children and Staff are still getting Covid when they attend School even with the Temperature Checks, Sanitizing, Masks, 6-foot Guidelines, etc. then why are they trying to open school fully for the whole week like this Pandemic just up and disappear? They are not taking the family members of these infected ones into consideration because now it is not only harmless in the schools but also in the homes. We need to rethink our decisions in taking out Virtual Learning as a choice and put our kids’ safety as number one priority.
