The School District of Philadelphia has COVID policies that are too loose. For example, students that have been directly exposed to COVID in school and are vaccinated are allowed to come back to school the next day with no COVID test. Also, there is little enforcement. Some teachers get away with not wearing masks in classrooms, even when they are within 3 feet of students; the CDC's recommended social distance for a K-12 school setting and some teachers, particularly Physical Education teachers (who a lot of times are also Health teachers), ironically let their kids take off masks when they are outside, even in contact sports such as Football. These policies must be made stricter and they should actually be enforced.
Why is this important?
Children's health and safety is on the line. If that doesn't make these policies important, I don't know what does.
