Get our teachers their shots first

SUNDAY’S JOURNAL editorial “Teachers trump students” (did) the community, and especially the teachers, a terrible disservice. No one, no one wants to stand in an enclosed space filled with other people for hours on end breathing poorly circulated air during a pandemic. Children should be back in school as soon as it’s safe. The solution is so obvious.

APS has 15,000 employees; make them a priority. Hold a special APS vaccination day and get all of the teachers and staff vaccinated against this dreadful disease. Reduce the risk, and teachers will return to school with the knowledge that they can do their job, educating our children, safely. ANDREW HORWITZ
