Has there been any discussion on pushing back the start of school this year until after a statewide mask mandate has had a chance to lessen the number of active COVID cases? Teachers should strike until this happens.
I realize this is late, but it seems a better option than stubbornly keeping opening dates when if we mandated masks and gave it time to work statewide there would be much less risk to students and faculty.
