With the number of COVID-19 related cases going up in Solano County due to the omicron surge, many local parents are concerned about keeping their kids in the classroom.
As the surging Omicron variant raises the number of COVID-19 cases in Solano County, local parents are increasingly concerned about keeping their kids in the classroom.
A letter sent out from Solano Widenmann Leadership Academy to its students’ parents and families is shown. Emerita Barker, a parent of an eighth-grader at the school, was concerned after receiving the letter. Barker claimed that an office worker at the school said that 132 students were out due to COVID or COVID-related symptoms or common colds.
“By aligning with the state and county public health agencies to provide multiple and robust safeguards within its schools, offices, and classrooms, our goal is to prevent the spread of the virus, Nichols continued. “As required by the state, VCUSD has a strong desire to continue to offer daily in-person instruction as the best and most effective form of learning.”
“I’ve looking into the virtual learning, which the district has no room for any new students or any computers,” Barker said. “My daughter is on the long waiting list to get both of those.”“I just tell her to wash her hands keep her mask on and everything will be alright. It’s very trying times I have anxiety about it,” Barker said. “I just hope that this calms down sooner rather than later.”
