   This is exactly what is happening in our district! I am the lead nurse, and I was not contacted for input on PPE, day-to-day, screening, attestations, etc. Everything you would expect that they would WANT a health professionals opinion on! I ju...

   If your school is closed re COVID19, what is your role
