Richmond Schools Stand United’s Kim Nowitsky is calling for the government to move ahead with seismic mitigation work on local schools that require the upgrades.

An open letter to Dr. Meena Dawar and the Richmond school board:

Please re-think your decision about opening schools too soon. While it may be true that kids are more immune to COVID-19, they could still carry it home to their older parents and grandparents.

What’s the rush I ask you? Your rationale should be purely scientific and not based on pressure.

* Editor’s Note: The school board has not decided to re-open schools; a pilot re-opening was suggested by Dr. Meena Dawar.
