Honorable Governor Murphy,
We thank you for your leadership, during this unprecedented time. We appreciate the measures that you took to keep us all safe.
The original measures were indeed necessary to prevent more illness and death. Indeed, you accomplished the mission, saved many lives and flattened the curve. We all thank you.
It has now been 8 weeks since the shutdown began and thankfully and thank G-d, the numbers of new cases keep going down.
New Jersey is beginning to reopen! However, at this point , we believe that just as it is important to reopen the parks and beaches which you have already done, it is now time for an even more vital element of communal life to resume.
We need to educate our children properly. We beseech you to reopen schools (of course with continued safeguards in place).
The education of our children is vital to our society and is the lifeline to out continuity as a community as a state and as a nation.
Please reopen our schools so that we can salvage the end of the year and allow children who need summer school to once again flourish academically.
Thanks
Concerned Parents of the Great State of New Jersey
