Dysart Unified School District should follow the example of affected jurisdictions around the region, the nation and even the world and close public schools.

We understand the immense disruption this will create for our families. But right now thousands of students and staff crisscross the city every day on their way to schools, putting themselves and others at risk of exposure and increasing the likelihood of bringing exposure into their homes and communities.

We must find ways to keep our children safe and to see that they are fed. We must do all we can to help ensure that our students can continue to learn. But we have reached the point where continuing to keep our classrooms open poses a greater lasting threat than the disruption that will result from school closings.

Social Distancing according to researchers could reduce the transmission rate by up to 75%.

please share this whether you agree or not as there may be more people with kids in Dysart schools that do feel the same way.  Thank You �
