No school opening! Allow parents to make alternative plans.

MORATORIUM ON SCHOOL TAXES OR REBATES FOR PARENTS TO EDUCATE CHILDREN

DECISIONS SHOULD BE MADE NOW SO CHOICES CAN BE MADE

It is looking likely that many public schools will not open this fall. Any advocacy from Trump to open schools is a guarantee of an opposite reaction from many. We can almost bet that Democratic cities will not open school until after the election. While that it in their power to do so there should be accommodations made to provide tax abatement or rebates to allow parents to make alternative plans.

It is all about the children right! Some parents may decide to take turns homeschooling. Some may decide for one parent to quit their job and stay home to instruct the children. Some may find an alternative private situation. There are private online options available now. And then, if there is a need it is likely some entrepreneur will come up with a solution.

Many are advocating that the schools will now need more money to not open the schools, this is a ridiculous proposition. If the schools cannot reopen they should temporarily mothball the whole operation until they feel it is safe to reopen the schools. The money should then be made available to parents who desire to make alternative plans for their children.

There also may be many parents who do not feel it is safe to send their children to school. Also, many teachers may have health concerns that will not allow them to return to teaching. Alternatives for everyone will require some time to make these decisions. It is only 6 weeks at the most to make these decisions. It will require difficult decisions for the schools and the parents. It is time to make these decisions now.
