We are playing a waiting game. Please suspend school now, as opposed to waiting for a confirmed case of the virus. The best prevention is containment to stop the spread. This virus can survive undetected for two weeks, and be completely asymptomatic for one person, who then will infect others.
Please close the schools for the safety of all Medford communities.
Thank you for your consideration.
I AM READING THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR COMMENTS AND THE CONCERN FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL!! I AM CURRENTLY DRAFTING URGENT EMAILS TO THE SCHOOL BOARD TO ENSURE THEY CANNOT IGNORE THIS GROWING PRESSURE TO PRIORITIZE SAFETY OVER EVERYTHING ELSE!!

Mother of 3rd grader at Columbus; have multiple medical issues that put me at higher risk if he brings it home from school. Waiting for a presumptive positive case before closing schools is bolting the barn door after the horse has escaped and run halfway to the next county. The best way to mitigate community spread is to close schools BEFORE the virus has obviously shown up in them.

Would love to see Medford and MPS show some real leadership on this.
