Dear School Board Members,
I want to express my support for Jennifer Guy as the Interim Superintendent and would ask that she remain on the Covid response team. She has done a great job with a difficult situation. I appreciate her trying to compromise and find a solution for all students and parents, when there are so many opinions on the COVID virus. I would ask that we continue to support her as she follows the recommendations coming from the state.
As a parent of an elementary student and two high school students, I would ask that we not implement further COVID restrictions on students. Especially since the numbers are dropping and the Omicron variant is not as dangerous as the previous variants. I also believe that further restrictions are going to cause more emotional harm, which in my opinion is more dangerous than COVID at this time. I do not think we should look into going back to online learning as it has shown to be harmful to students learning as well. I know it was very difficult for my kids.
I would ask that the school board look at how many people are asking for further restrictions and how many are content with things the way they are. I would ask before you administer further restrictions that you send out a survey to parents, so that you can make sure that you are truly serving the needs and desires of the parents and students.
I appreciate those who are serving on the school board, but I would ask that you please talk with those that you serve. If you do not have students that have gone through a COVID school year, then you do not truly understand what it is like. There is a reason that more students are not online. Please allow the students and parents to make the decision that is best for them.
Thank you for your time.
