Open NYS schools

The Issue

Schools were designed for in-person learning. That is what's best for kids! Our community NEEDS regular 5-days-a-week in-person instruction and our children deserve no less!

Schools should spend all of their money and personnel resources educating our youth for the greater aim of supporting a democracy NOT COVID testing its students who are not sick. Governor Cuomo's mandated testing of school children is UNACCEPTABLE. Our children are not a statistic and you may not hold their education hostage!

Erie County has created "Virtual Learning Centers" instead of providing access to real teachers in meaningful environments. Schools follow recommended guidelines and have put countless hours into planning and executing health protocols instead of educating children. Enough is enough! Tell Governor Cuomo to follow the CDC and NIH guidance and open the schools!
