Prez elect vowing to return public schools to in person learning by March amidst reports of new contagious variants popping up and a botched (or at least, inconsistent) vaccine rollout.
Promising districts funding to reopen can only do so much, especially within the remaining school year. What are they gonna do, build us new buildings? They talk about ventilation, but I've seen no concrete plans or any examples of this "extra" ventilation being put to use anywhere else.
Schools are a rife with opportunities for spread to occur. We can't follow children around spraying everything they touch.
Don't get me wrong, I want the PPE educators should have been provided since this shit started. However, until vaccines are available to all in my community, I am NOT down with being involved in community spread, or even risking it.
I am used to sacrificing my time for my job, but I draw the line at sacrificing my own health and that of others in my community.
