Governor's Statement on Reopening Schools

I have received a lot of questions related to the Governor's comments over the last couple of days regarding reopening of schools.  Today was the first time I have received any correspondence from the Governor's office on this recent topic.  Attached is the letter I received today.  I am thankful for this statement by the Governor but I believe it should have come months ago.  As he said in his press briefing, our students are suffering from a loss of learning and mental health impacts of isolation (and have been for a while).

​At this point, I do not have any further information but I will continue to advocate for our students to get back to school for more in-person learning as soon as possible.
