Though it seems the spread of the coronavirus through our community may be subsiding, the health and well-being of our students and educators is dependent upon the vigilance of every one of us. Even as we practice physical distancing and continue to wear masks, we know that more must be done to provide for the safest possible learning environment for EVERY student and public school employee.
That's why we continue to call upon the Governor to take the following additional steps:
- Immediately begin vaccinating those under the age of 65 who are at greater risk from COVID due to pre-existing health conditions.
- Equip every school district with resources to support rapid testing and effective contact tracing.
- Ensure that educators are prioritized for access to vaccinations as soon as possible.
The reopening of our neighborhood public schools have made the reopening of our economy possible, and we must do everything we can to ensure that students and educators are kept safe in the ongoing pandemic.Please take a moment to email the Governor and advocate for the health and safety of our students and our educators.
