Regarding “Fear keeps schools closed, in spite of low virus rates” (Front Page, Dec. 9): With a surge of new coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and COVID-19 deaths being reported in California and across the U.S., it’s truly disappointing to read a front page article calling for the reopening of public schools. There might be some wealthy local districts or private schools with small class sizes that have the financial means to ensure the safety and health of their staff and students.
However, the majority of our public schools have aging infrastructure, insufficient ventilation, class sizes of 30 or more children and lack of testing and tracing protocols to adequately protect teachers.
