“3 feet of physical distancing recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which SPS is following “to the extent possible,” is an outdated standard based on less transmissible variants.”

“Infections will still be introduced into the school population through unvaccinated contacts of children, and breakthrough infections are on the rise given waning protection, a concern among school employees who were prioritized for vaccination earlier.”
Early data from other states where schools have started in-person indicate this is a mistake. In Scottsdale, there was more COVID transmission in the first seven days this year than the entire year. Outbreaks have already closed at least four districts in Texas.
These requirements push toward in-person school or toward home schooling. The former is unethical and arguably negligent. The latter is only realistic for a lucky few. Instead of this punitive option, Schools must offer a remote-learning option for all children
