1/5 The bottom line is that on school openings many districts are still operating as if it were Mar not Oct. In Mar most of us did not know how the virus was transmitted (too bad WHO did not tell us in Feb). Now we know & we know what do to do minimize airborne transmission
2/5 The goal is not to suppress every single case, but construct our indoor environments to minimize the potential for large spreading events. Schools can be safe low-risk spaces if they are following our ( @linseymarr @j_g_allen @jljcolorado @CorsIAQ) recommended protocols.
3/5 That doesn’t mean that cases are not going to occur and be brought to school. What we don't want is spreading wishing school. We’re trying to support the idea that we need to live with this virus. There is not enough political leadership or will to do otherwise in the US.
4/5 There are risks – those of us with kids have grown concerned enough that sitting at home 24/7 poses a much greater risk than going to a safely constructed school environment.

5/5 Our letter to @BVSDcolorado on school reopening and how we must do better for our kids - get them in the classroom: with masks/ventilation/outdoor learning/distancing/open windows/air cleaners/handwashing...a layered approach https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GWOlD9pDL1fS7Hn_cRRVq21gAUZDXCVH/view?usp=sharing
Just have to give a shout out to @BVSDcolorado Horizons K8-they are doing mostly outdoor classes and indoors they have air cleaners in classrooms with CO2 monitors set to alert at 600 ppm. Oh and this is my kiddo’s school
