Use Your Voice - Reopening of OC Schools

Please stop what you are doing and submit a comment card OR write an email voicing your support or opposition to the Orange County Board of Education's decision in reopening schools as usual.

Schools across California are beginning to make hard decisions about reopening their schools and what that may look like. As advocates for informed consent and medical freedom, it is important that we ask pressing questions so that our decision makers might be coerced to investigate further and be well informed on how to best support children in the new school year.

Tomorrow morning, Monday, July 13th, the Orange County Board of Education is holding a special meeting to discuss their recent decision to reopen schools without social distancing or mask mandates. It is important that the OCBE hears from citizens across the state so that they can make informed decisions on how to best support the students of California.

There are large groups on each side, both opposing the reopening of schools as normal and supporting the schools reopening as normal. What do you think the schools should do?
