Doctors and medical experts have stated that there is NO data that shows an increase in COVID-19 cases and in school learning, those are FACTS! We can all fall victim to fear mongering but these kids need to be in school. They are the ones that are going to be the next generation doctors and nurses.

New cases are still being reported every day and the coronavirus remains deadly. Many people argue schools shouldn't be open until students and teachers are vaccinated.

Again they do not have the equipment they need to do so and keep everyone safe. Staff, Students, School Workers

Teachers should be vaccinated before this happens.

We need more vaccine rollout in the community. Getting close but it's still too early. Maybe April or just wait until next fall.

Don't want to flip flop back and forth from on line to in seat school. They need consistants, either way.

We don't force people to get a flu shot. People die from the flu each year. It should be a choice when it comes to something like this.
