"People overestimated the ability of these lockdowns to do any good whatsoever... It was a mistake on the part of the scientific community and Dr. Fauci... It has produced devastating effects." - Dr. Jay Bhattacharya - professor of medicine at Stanford University.

It is time to open our schools now, fulltime, five days a week. Our children will be no doubt effected by this non social, emotional lockdown for months to years to come. It's a year of sitting at a kitchen table for 7 hours, listening and watching from a small computer screen.

We need to hold Jeffrey Mohre accountable for his lack of effort, interest and clear nonsense of excuses as to why he doesn't have a reopening plan. And our BOE needs to be held responsible for safeguarding that as HIS PRIORITY! We've offered creative ideas and solutions that were clearly laughed upon or ignored. Parents spent hard earned money on tutors and even sat with their children to help keep them engaged while doing their own jobs.

It has been confirmed continuously by the CDC, Academy of Pediatrics and Dr. Fauci himself, that it is safe for children to return to school and our teachers do NOT need to be vaccinated first either. There is less than 1% transmission rate among the schools in the state. Both Mr. Mohre and the BOE need to follow our science and data and NOT our teachers union president! It is also a FACT that the longer schools are closed, stronger the negative impact it has on our children's health, education and development!

Please sign this petition before Monday, March 8, 2021 so that we can present to the BOE that we want them to know we NEED OUR SCHOOLS OPEN NOW!
