The decision to reopen with so few guardrails was three-fold. First, the board found that K-12 students are lowest risk age group, eliminating the need for masks or social distancing. Second, the boardthat it its "our responsibility to model courage and persistence in the face of uncertainty and fear." Third, it said previous attempts at remote learning have been an "utter failure," producing irregular attendance and more work for teachers and parents.
The board also said that parents can decide what type of education is best for their children, and even send students to a different district without penalty, if that district's reopening plan is more in line with the family's values.
