As a student attending a public school here on Guam, I am deeply concerned about the chances of us going back to 5 days a week. As a student, I believe that the cohorts in place are keeping students, staff, and overall our community safe. The conditions we were in when we were all together at school made many students fear their health due to crowding or others (staff or students) not following safety protocols. Myself along with other students, feel that the cases aren’t rising as rapidly as before because of the cohorts we have right now. If we do go back to all students five days a week, cases will rise, and we’ll be back to online learning in which many students tend to struggle with. We are providing this petition in hopes that the Guam Board of Education will hear out students’ thoughts and think about the consequences that will arise if cohorts are removed. Instead of removing cohorts, many students like the idea of having upperclassmen (juniors and seniors) attend school in the morning and having underclassmen (freshmen and sophomores) attend later into the day. During these cohorts, we are still able to attend school five days a week, but in a more safer way for students and staff.
