We are petitioning for your support for our request of Online learning as a proactive alternative option for Monroe Township Schools *before* the coronavirus infection starts to spread. Online doesn't mean the school will be closed! Instead, we are asking for our schools to provide this option to the families who want to keep their children at home and still have their attendance counted. Most importantly, it will also benefit those students who choose to attend school by providing larger personal space and more sanitation resources and therefore decreasing the risk of infection. By providing Online LEARNING, Monroe Township Schools will have a better chance of preventing the spread of the the COVID-19 virus amongst the students, teachers, and staff members. We implore that the district take proactive actions by not waiting until confirmed cases occur and by offering this valuable option of online learning.

This international COVID-19 epidemic has become a national and local public health crisis that is spreading at an increasingly accelerated rate. To avoid further spread of COVID-19 within our community, now is the time for Monroe Township schools to offer online classes.
