I am a highly dedicated and passionate veteran educator who absolutely LOVES ALL children. I care for their physical, mental and spiritual health. I also care about my colleagues and their health. It is to this end that that I demand FCPS and the entire state of Virginia follow CDC guidelines i. School a d elsewhere to keep EVERYONE safe. This pandemic is far from over and we are not in a position to be lackadaisical about safety. I do understand it can be a bit burdensome to enact these measures but, safety first; We owe it to our children, staff and families.
