It should be simple to get schools open.

IT JUST TAKES WILL AND MANAGEMENT ABILITY

LET TEACHERS AND PARENTS HAVE THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE 


There seems to be a dilemma about opening the schools, it should not be that hard. First, if some teachers are elderly or have health issues, let them take a voluntary lay-off. Voluntary lay-offs have been part of union negotiations for decades in other industries. Let the younger teachers open the schools and give opportunity to young teachers to fill in openings, if needed.

Some parents may fear sending their children back to school. Possibly because some children may have underlying health issues or their relatives who they live with have health issues.  Ok, give them options to fulfill their education requirement. Help them choose other possibilities. Maybe even give them a partial subsidy to make all this possible.

Just a matter of listening to the concerns of teachers and parents, while letting them know that the schools are going to open. Let them all make choices that make them comfortable it a positive way. Time to get over the one size fits all policy and forcing administrations to be put in a position to please everyone. Lay out the fact,  the schools are going to open and it is up to parents and teachers to make choices that make them feel comfortable.
