The SFUSD Student Advisory Council released this powerful and persuasive letter based on a comprehensive survey of 3,250 SFUSD students from schools all over the city. Of those surveyed, "57.9% of respondents feel unsafe or somewhat unsafe with attending school in-person" while "85.3% of students stated that they would feel safe or somewhat safe" with a virtual option. Students go on to recommend that the District make a hybrid option which could be "available for a period of at least 2-3 weeks as we wait for the surge of cases to slow down." We applaud these students for standing up for what they believe in, and we support their struggle for a reasonable hybrid option and a 2-3 week pause.
