AN OPEN LETTER

Dear Retirees:

How many of your friends and family have suffered the ravages or death from Covid-19?  Do you remember how the government said “no problem”, be gone in a couple weeks”, “we have this under control”?

They are saying the same things about opening the schools for your grand children.  The best predictor of future action is past action.

For the sake of your grandchildren, who could bring Covid-19 home to you and their parents, urge your school district to stay closed until it can be opened safely.  

Do they have the funds to hire more janitors, initiate and maintain social distancing, the technology for virtual learning and protect their teachers.

When Covid-19 is under control and we have opened businesses, we can open the schools safely.

Thank you.
