Leaders of hundreds of now-shuttered San Diego County schools say the surge in COVID-19 cases is keeping schools closed indefinitely for thousands of students. Some school leaders and parents say their frustration is growing because the worse the surge gets, the farther away a possibility of reopening seems.
“Every time people make a decision like not to wear masks, every time people make decisions to congregate with people outside of their households the result of those individual actions is that it will delay the time that kids can be back in school,” said Richard Barrera, vice president of the San Diego Unified School Board.
