The students of Sharon High School and Elementary/Middle School districts, do not feel comfortable attending classes due to the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus. Until proper precautions have been taken to ensure the wellbeing of the students, such as changing the fundamental idea of a crowded, humid locker room that is never cleaned, to stuffy classes where students must be shoulder to shoulder, Sharon public schools students want their classes switched to Online Classes.

There are people at Sharon MA with a compromised immune system who might easily, and unfortunately, fall victim to this contagious virus. We feel rightful to ask of this because Sharon Public Schools Districts should put student safety health first. Students want to know more information about this virus before going on campus. We do not want to risk our lives by attending class. According to the news today, multiple schools have been closed. 

The new coronavirus COVID-19 has been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization, as the outbreak continues to spread around the world and now rapidly in the USA. It's imperative that we understand the fundamental problems with going to school.

As many schools agree that " School closings present a particularly vexing social distancing dilemma but may be necessary to protect public health. Once school closings occur, they may be extensive and extended. Social distancing—staying at least 6 feet away from all other people—should be attempted where possible."

While children are not impacted they could be asymptomatic carriers compromising those who are vulnerable (eventually stressing out the healthcare system).

According to Sharon Public school superintendent, our schools already have the infrastructure of  distant learning in place. Please sign the petition to make this switch before there is an outbreak. 

Sign the petition now for Safer Schools, Safer Health, Safer Students and Safer community.
