Protect Healthy Students from Forced Quarantining: Principal James Long

“As a principal, I have to make phone calls to parents or talk to students and say, ‘You know, I'm so sorry, you have to quarantine again’ or ‘Your son or daughter has to quarantine,’” said Principal James Long of Gateway High School. “To look them in the face and just see that disappointment of a kid who says, ‘Please [I do not want to be] quarantine[d] five times.’ Any opportunity to allow our students to have an option to stay in school and parents to have that option to keep their kids in school, I'm in favor of it because I really believe that that's where kids need to be."
