Because students that are testing positive are still attending school and putting other students and their families are risk.

Its common knowledge that children/teenagers are spreading this in schools! Until there is a vaccine for them it will keep happening.Germs don't know to stop at 6 feet! I'm sorry that's s not even real!

It's been so stressful for my kids to be at school, worrying about all of the students around them and spread of covid. They prefer virtual learning. (Teenagers) They wanted to keep their same teachers, though, and didn't want the BLPO option.

If they shut down restaurants, rodeos and any other outside event, schools should be shutdown too!

We are at the highest level of cases, we are seeing increased cases in students, and the new variants are becoming dominant. The exponential growth is truly overwhelming. Lets keep our students and their extended family safe until they can be vaccinated.

As a student, being in school is honestly pretty scary right now. There is literally a direct correlation between COVID-19 cases and the schools reopening. I don’t see how anybody in their right mind would want to risk the health of the entire community over a couple months of in person school.

Protecting the health of staff, children, and their families is critical. Prevention is key; immunocompromised and disabled staff, students, and family members are particularly vulnerable. It isn't about convenience, it is about accountability of our community protecting each other.

What happened to the flu? Did they close schools? How about heart disease that kills millions in the United States? I think it should be the parent's decision.

Being in contact with COVID positive people does not mean a person will get COVID. Children need to go to school for their social health. If humans had cowered in fear since the beginning we would not be here.

HECK no. The psychological and emotional damage to our children and grandchildren is HORRIBLE. OPEN THE SCHOOLS up 100%. IF a parent is concerned about THEIR child, go ahead and home school. The RISK of a child getting really sick is minute. Getting injured at play or by a car is MUCH greater.

Keep that poison away from kids. They’ve done just fine without it.

We're still arguing with teachers' unions and locking down states over a "flu" that has a 99.8% recovery rate overall and almost 100% for kids under 18, while kids in other parts of the world are actually getting an education.

Mental health, screen fatigue, learning effectiveness and engagement, low transmission rates in schools…

Virtual learning has been a disaster for kids. Several teachers I've talked to agree.

Kids are the least suseptible to the virus and need their education. Get them in school, keep them there, and give them the structure they need.

Kids need in school learning. We are setting there education up for complete failure if we go back to on line. Just ask a teacher or parent.

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
