Dear Families:

At Seattle Public Schools, science and data continue to ground our response to COVID-19. We have been monitoring reports of increased COVID-19 cases in our community and are in close communication with Public Health Seattle & King County, OSPI, the Governor’s office, and neighboring school districts. We can’t imagine a way to open schools without the risk of significant transmission of COVID-19 based on the current trajectory of infections in King County. Superintendent Juneau is recommending to the school board that Seattle Public Schools start the 2020-21 school year remotely.

We will follow the remote instruction model until the risk of significant transmission of COVID-19 has decreased enough to resume in-person instruction. The School Board will vote on the Superintendent's recommendation and an associated plan for fall 2020 on August 12.

    I'm going to enjoy the outrage at Trump when my teacher friends start getting their pink slips online soon.

    Science and data left the building a long time ago

    Leftards just assume an unlimited supply of other people's money. Government workers will not be spared forever. In other news, gold is up another $22 an ounce and silver is going through the roof.

    Furlough teachers, give vouchers for school choice. But they won’t do that. Because they hate kids. Especially poor ones.

    Expect tee times to be scarce at your local course. Teachers love their golf.

    “We will follow the remote instruction model until the risk of significant transmission of COVID-19 has decreased enough to resume in-person instruction. The School Board will vote on the Superintendent's recommendation and an associated plan for fall 2020 on August 12.”

    Gives us a number of what a decreased enough transmission rate looks like. Won’t happen. Burden of proof should be 100% on those dictating the change from normal behavior. That’s the biggest miss in the whole virus bullshit.

    The goal posts move so frequently, the “kicker” has almost no chance of success . . .

    You know when a politician or other public figure points to Science and Data that you are about to be lied to, often multiple times in the next paragraph or two.

    The goal posts have been turned perpendicular to the playing field.

    Funny that your letter didn't mention that there have been zero deaths in Washington in the under age 20 group. The concern for the kiddies is pretty damn impressive.

    But the kids might infect their grandma and kill her!

    We are using science and data, but fail to show which data was used, which is not science.

    They definitely don't mention no dead kids.
