Why this petition matters

Started by Tabitha Dwyer

I found out today that my son's school does not require teachers to get covid tested regularly.  I think this should be mandatory as they are interacting with our kids everyday. 

Essential workers such as nurses and front line workers get tested 2x weekly. Hair dressers are even required to be tested weekly. We are leaving our children with teachers 5-8hrs a day i would feel more at ease if they where required to be tested.

The CDC states 40% of people are asymptomatic. With out the teachers being tested regularly we would not know if the where asymptomatic and passing this on to our children. This is a deadly disease. Our children depend on us to keep them safe.
