ANN ARBOR ā More than 350 local physicians and psychologists have signed an open letter and petition to the Ann Arbor Board of Education and Ann Arbor Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Jeanice Kerr Swift, urging them to reopen schools for students who choose to learn in-person by Gov.
āThe scientific, health and psychological consensus is clear: It is possible for children and teachers to safely return to school with proper mitigation measures.
AdāMy own experience of seeing the devastation caused by school closure among Ann Arborās children has been eye-opening and heartbreaking.
āItās time for Ann Arbor to make the rational decision to allow students and families a choice of in-person schooling.
AAPS students deserve better.āThis is the third letter that Ann Arbor healthcare providers has sent to AAPS and coincides with efforts by parents to reopen the schools due to negative impacts their children are facing during the closures.
