Due to the rapid spread of coronavirus infection in America, new challenges have arisen for schools. Many states may change the decision to open schools from September. Parents are also considering giving the option of online studies for students. Several school districts plan to offer direct education this year after a year of remote learning. However, the highly contagious delta variant has forced some districts to rethink it.
The situation has been complicated by the lifting of restrictions on the requirement of masks in schools in some states. By the way, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last week that all students and staff should wear masks inside the school.
Eight states, including Iowa, Texas, have eliminated the need for masks. The Des Moines School Board in the state of Iowa has offered an online option to families concerned about whether or not their children are coming to class.
At the same time, New York City announced that it will end online education from September and will only offer in-class education. However, many parents do not agree with this decision. The Bronx Parent Leaders Group, a parent organization, has urged the option of online education.
Anthony May, head of the Austin School District Board in Texas, has said he will offer online education options to students from kindergarten through sixth grade. Schools are not safe amid the pandemic. Earlier there was a plan to open a school here. The area's Travis County has a positivity rate of 14.5% for COVID-19. This is the highest since January.
