Keep Florida School buildings closed in 2020-2021

Keep Florida School buildings closed in 2020-2021

Keep Florida school buildings closed through Fall semester 2020. Shift all students to remote instruction.

Why is this important?

There is no way to keep students, teachers, staff, bus drivers and cafeteria workers safe if they report to school buildings. Until there is 100% assurance that children will not bring COVID-19 home from school no school buildings should reopen in Florida.

Remote instruction is feasible and in cases where parents cannot handle instruction a tutoring program should be established to insure that kids can keep learning. This can be accomplished state-wide or district by district. If families do not have computers or internet access, these resources should be provided by the Florida Department of Education, by federal funding or by community foundations.

Reevaluate this position in January 2021 or after an effective COVID-19 vaccine has been developed and tested and is widely available.

  • we can not pretend that sending 4 million plus students back to school (census #) and however many staff, bus drivers and teachers to closed buildings with air conditioners and expect this to be safe no matter what plan or precautions are in place. FL is an epicenter for this virus and this country is doing a deplorable job working together for everyone's safety. The only way to ensure learning is to keep teachers well working from home and having everyone who can, stay home and safe.
