COVID-19: Questions Regarding School Openings



• If a teacher tests positive for the Coronavirus, are they required to quarantine for 2-3 weeks? Is their sick leave covered and paid?

• If that teacher has 5 classes a day with 30 students each, do all 150 of those students need to then stay home and quarantine for 14 days?

• Do all 150 of those students now have to get tested? Who pays for those tests? Are they happening at school? How are the parents being notified? Does everyone in each of those kids' families need to get tested? Who pays for their tests?

• What if someone who lives in the same house as a teacher tests positive? Does that teacher now need to take 14 days off of work to quarantine? Is that time off covered and paid?

• Where is the district going to find a substitute teacher who will work in a classroom full of exposed and possibly infected students for substitute pay?

• Substitutes teach in multiple schools. What if they are diagnosed with COVID-19? Do all the kids in each school now have to quarantine and get tested? Who pays for those tests?

• What if a student in your kid's class tests positive? What if your kid tests positive? Does every other student and teacher they have been around quarantine? Do we all get notified who is infected and when, or because of HIPAA regulations, are parents and teachers just going to get mysterious “may have been in contact” emails all year long?

• What is this stress going to do to our teachers? How does it affect their health and well-being? How does it affect their ability to teach? How does it affect the quality of education they are able to provide? What is it going to do to our kids? What are the long-term effects of consistently being stressed out?

• How will it affect students and faculty when the first teacher in their school dies from it? When the first parent of a student who brought it home dies from it? When the first kid dies from it?

• How many more people are going to die that otherwise would not have if we had stayed home longer?

30% of the teachers in the U.S. are over 50 years old. About 16% of the total deaths in the U.S. are people between the ages of 45-65.

We are choosing to put our teachers, students, and everyone they come in contact with in danger!
