Governor Greg Abbott stated that schools can resume as normal without Covid-19 screening, masks or testing. Infections are on the rise in Texas and a second wave of infection is expected for Fall 2020.

This petition is to demand that Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Department of Education devise a real plan of action for educators and students to return to school safely or to keep the schools closed and online learning for Fall 2020 and Spring 2021.

- Free or low cost Covid-19 testing stations for each school district.

- All Covid-19 tests must come back negative and no symptoms must be present to return to school.

- Student education on hygiene and protecting against Coronavirus.

- If a student, educator or staff should contract Coronavirus the school is shut down, cleaned and switched to online learning for 3 weeks for all to quarantine and catch any other potential infections before students return to school.

- Mandatory daily screening for students before entering the school.

- No changing of classrooms for students.

-Make masks mandatory for students, teachers and administrators who attend school in person.

- Handwashing/Sanitizing stations set up in each classroom.

Please sign this petition we have just a few weeks to enact change. It is imperative that we protect our families going into the 2020-2021 school year. This will limit the spread of Covid-19 within our schools and communities.
