In Arizona, the state government, ineffective in stopping #COVID19, says schools that don& #39;t open by Aug. 17 will lose funding.

A superintendent says his poor district needs the $$, but he doesn& #39;t want to sicken/kill his students & teachers.

"We’re 90 percent Hispanic and more than 90 percent free-and-reduced lunch. These kids need every dollar we can get. But #COVID is spreading all over this area and hitting my staff, and now it feels like there’s a gun to my head. I already lost one teacher to this virus."
Not every governor is a strong and as protective of their people as the Republican governors of Ohio or Maryland, or the Democratic governors of Washington or Pennsylvania.
