Dear Mr. Kara,
This petition is a request for TMSA to provide an option for Virtual learning until kids are vaccinated.
We as parents are very concerned and anxious about well being of our kids, especially since the vaccines are still not available to children under 12.
With the original variant, students were less likely to be seriously impacted, but in the case of the Delta variant, children’s hospitals across the country have seen a surge in symptomatic infections and based on recent CDC comments, children can easily contract the virus & carry it home to younger or older family members, which in-turn is potentially a matter of life and death.
While we understand that in-person schooling is the best option for our kids to learn and grow, safeguarding our kids during a pandemic is equally important to their well being. Based on the latest information from Pfizer, their plan is to submit clinical trial data by September with a hope to get an EUA for younger kids within a matter of weeks. Once children are vaccinated, it gives their bodies a chance to deal with this virus and reduces the chances of major outbreaks.
We are requesting a hybrid model - i.e. virtual option along with in-person. Families deserve to have a choice in our children’s education and to do what is best for our kids.

The emails I receive from families reflect the same exhaustion I feel while trying to navigate these risks every single day. I am continuing to push the school administration for a response to our request for a virtual option. It is difficult to keep fighting when silence is the only answer we receive, but we have to keep trying for the sake of our children.

So worried about sending my little one into a crowded school right now. just give us the option to stay home until vaccines are rolled out.
PLEASE listen to the parents. just offer a virtual choice for those of us who need it. why is this so hard??
The delta variant is no joke. keep the virtual option open until the shots are ready for the kids. its just common sense.
we need flexibility! my family has high risk members at home and i cant risk bringing it back to them.
Keep them safe. Virtual learning is the only way to go for now.
