will not be met with open arms here.

Parents are tired of disruption in their kids' lives.

I support large districts allowing individual schools to make independent decisions and shut down/go remote if there are staffing issues. It's going to happen and education will be disrupted.

I think shutting down the whole system this way will anger a lot of people.
