Though Maricopa County as of Thursday meets the recommended healthbenchmarks for schools to safely begin reopening for in-person learning, some parents still have concerns about the coronavirus and aren’t ready to send their kids back to school.
Nicole Guysi, of Glendale, said her 4-year-old son, Blake, attends preschool three days a week. But the risk is too high for her 9-year-old daughter, Brooke. She was born with a rare genetic condition that makes her immunocompromised.
“On-campus learning, unfortunately, is not an option no matter what protocols might be put in place on our end, on the school’s end,” Guysi said. “It’s just not something she can do this school year.”
