It's dangerous and irresponsible to keep schools open in Arkansas until we have confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our districts.

There are people that have been walking around for weeks exposing others now waiting in hospitals to be tested because we don't have enough tests. Their families, friends, collegues have been exposed for weeks and many will become sick very soon. There are others with mild symptoms spreading it to our elderly and immunocompromised. Schools are petri dishes, and they carry this home to their grandparents, siblings with cancer, Dad's with MS, etc. 

Do the responsible thing and close the schools. Your decision will literally save or end many lives. The people of Arkansas depend on you to make better decisions.
