The Orleans Parish School Board meeting was a circus for a short time last night, as a group of concerned parents and community members demanded a virtual option for their children.
Dozens of speakers got up during the public comment section of a resolution the board was taking up providing more COVID guidance for schools and urging LDH to require vaccines for all students once they are fully FDA approved.
The resolution was passed as the public comment section ended and devolved into chants of “shut it down”.
Many parents said they felt like the measures in place demonstrated a blatant disregard for their children’s health and lives, even going as far as to say in-person learning with no virtual option is proof of negligence.
