infection prevention in school settings

We personally have virtual schooled and homeschooled since prior to the pandemic (our virtual and homeschooling resources are on the HOME page in the SAFE SCHOOLS section, along with more information on schools in general). Since the pandemic, we have advocated for safety in schools as we care about our communities and want to make sure the children are safe.

Unfortunately, over the past 4 years we not found schools to be sufficiently receptive in our experiences, and we encourage others to use public virtual schools or homeschool at this time.

Perhaps enough people switching to such paths will not only ensure your family's safety but also help convince the schools we need changes, we demand changes. As a single parent and a person with disability, I believe it is possible for most families to make the switch and should be enough of a priority to make it happen even if it means downsizing your home, changing careers, etc.

But we also understand that some might not be ready to. Below are resources to help advocate for changes in schools, and to advocate for your child's rights to safe education.  We have more resources on our HOME page under Safe Schools. In this section below we include resources, and have added some examples of what some communities ARE doing to protect their children and staff in schools.
