The largest school district in Georgia is now dealing with a massive outbreak of COVID-19 and virus exposure ahead of first day of school.
“Through tracing, we know that the majority of these cases are the result of community spread, meaning we have people who have called in to report who have not been at school or work,” Roach further explained. “Given the number of COVID cases in Gwinnett, we would expect to see positives among our employees based on the community spread in our county,”
Which led to Gwinnett having to close down the school before they even open. This unfortunate experience also shows that even without children present, teachers’ lives are put at risk. Many teachers spoke on condition of anonymity to theto lament the lack of effort being put forth by the GCPS to prevent community spread:
“In-person training and meetings are taking place without areas being wiped down or disinfected in between and masks aren’t being worn at all times, said several teachers who didn’t disclose their names when contacting the AJC. Others added that their school still hadn’t received any hand sanitizer.”
Ashley Newman, a former GCPS elementary teacher, said she felt like she had no choice but to resign from her teaching position. “I’m trained to teach. I’m not a health care expert,” she said. “In April, we were called heroes and people were saying we need raises. Now we’re called lazy because we just want to be safe doing our jobs.”
