Thanks for posting this.
Former school nurse here.
Can you imagine schools without a nurse in the middle of a pandemic?
There is no guidance from anyone on how to safely open schools.
Here is to all school staff that do the best they can, with what little they are given and expected to perform miracles. Three cheers!
And can I make a request of all those that read this?
Call a local school in your district. See what they need. And if you can donate what you are able. Tissues, socks, mittens whatever the school needs please help our teachers.
