Last week, Andrea Castellano sent her two kids to school for the first time in 18 months, along with a letter expressing her support for a remote option.
Castellano — who is a mother of two students in District 32, which encompasses much of Bushwick, and a third grade teacher in District 23 — said she's worried her children will catch and spread COVID-19 at school.
Since vaccines still aren't approved for children under 12, her 10-year-old daughter has to go to school unvaccinated alongside a largely unvaccinated class. Even though Castellano's 12-year-old is vaccinated, she would still prefer a remote option for him because she said her kids "learned a lot" during remote instruction, and she said there are "loopholes" in the Department of Education's (DOE) safety measures.
