“I’m calling on the Department of Health to provide clear and concrete guidance for school districts as they work toward reopening at full capacity. In order to safely and responsibly get our children back where they need to be, in school, the DOH needs to remove any ambiguity surrounding what protocols need to be enforced.

“After a year of confusion and remote learning for many students, it’s important we take the proactive, safe steps to reinstate in-person learning. It’s clear that is the best way for our students to actively learn and engage in their studies. I will continue to work with schools across my district and with the DOH to do what’s best for our children.”
