Petition to Governor Lamont and the Connecticut State Department of Education

We the undersigned call for the Connecticut State Department of Education to create a fully remote option for public school students for the 2021-22 academic year. 
 
Until herd immunity has been achieved, it will not be safe for children with medically vulnerable family members to return to the school building. 
 
We understand that a remote option will be available for 2022-23 to accommodate people who opt not to follow state vaccination mandates (HB 6621), but none will be provided for those who need a remote option due to medical vulnerabilities.   
 
We implore the addition of a state-supported remote education for the 2021-22 academic year.
