Shouldn’t they decide on how we’re going to keep our children safe with in person learning instead of ignoring it like it doesn’t exist??
I noticed something missing, where are the public comments? Or does the great Dr. Fletcher, not allow that sort of thing?
Pretty sure the school start date needs to be pushed back. LC covid numbers are not good. Not safe for the kids or the families they go home to.
