Moving forward with in person learning while the virus is surging and above the 5% guidelines and CDC suggestions is ignorant and irresponsible!
Parents and teachers should have a say in whether or not the risks are too high. Clearly they are NOT the priority of the school board.
Attendance will be weak because parents are not willing to risk their kids lives. So will the city offer online learning for those that can’t attend in person?
The whole community should join parents and teachers In their concern about Covid.
It affects us all

What possible reason is sufficient to open schools for in-person learning when COVID cases are on the rise, school funding is not affected, and at-home learning is possible? We know much about the virus, such as that students can be asymptomatic and share the virus with teachers (pregnant? immuno-compromised? diabetic? over 60?) and with others at their homes. But also frightening is what we DON'T know ... long-term effects on all systems of the body. (My son had COVID in March and spent 7 weeks in a hospital. He still has no energy, has headaches, and has difficulty concentrating.) The state's largest districts have determined that in-class instruction is unsafe; why does Lubbock-Cooper not see that? How many physicians/scientists/teachers are on the school board or were consulted before this uninformed decision was made? Please consider EVERYONE who'll be affected by this decision--students, teachers, parents, school staff--and keep them safe. Why tempt fate?

Not only can they spread to other children and staff, but they can bring it home to loved ones.

Local, state and national COVID-19 numbers are way too high. Sufficient testing and tracing are not happening. Much better efforts to get the virus under control must happen before face-to-face school will be safe.

According to the experts, we are not yet ready to safely start back to in-class teaching. The positivity rate in Lubbock needs to be at least cut in half first.

There is no cure for the virus. We all know kids spread germs. And with flu season approaching we're going to have lots of sick people. IF ONE TEACHER OR ONE STUDENT DIES THAT'S ONE DEATH TOO MANY! There is no need to rush back to school and put teachers,children, and their families at risk. We all want our kids to go back to school as soon as possible, but not until it's safe. Don't play politics. Do the right thing.

My daughter has already been infected. What if I send her to school and she becomes reinfected? What if her outcome is worse than her 1st go around? We are not taking that chance.

As a parent who caught Covid at work, personally it’s not something I want my children to catch. It’s horrible and I can’t imagine putting my child at risk.
