PHOENIX - An Arizona school district that ignored state safety guidelines and voted to begin in-person learning on Aug 17 has had to cancel classes after staff said it was unsafe to return and called in sick.
The"sick out" underlined the difficulties in returning to in-person learning in the United States after schools in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama closed this week as students and staff were infected with Covid-19 or forced to self-isolate from exposure. Arizona is becoming a battleground in the debate over school reopening, hundreds of parents and students demonstrating on Monday in Phoenix for a return to in-person classes after teachers staged protests calling for a delay until October.
Christina DeRouchey was among Phoenix parents at the Monday rally and led demonstrations in her Deer Valley Unified School District calling for in-person learning to begin on Aug 17.
