1. My name is ___. I am a RBUSD parent with kids at ____ school.
2. Thank you to the district and board for your leadership and efforts.
3. I support RBUSD and its Race and Equity Committee to adopt more initiatives, not less. This is important to me because [I am a minority and appreciate __; I value diversity and inclusion for my children and community, which is approximately 50% non-white...; I want my kids to learn a complete and accurate history of our country;]

We are a group of nearly 100 parents who submitted a letter in support of the district's compliance with LA County health requirements including indoor masking. We acknowledge that conditions and regulations have been fluid so that in of itself have been difficult. However, we insist on increased mitigation measures because the county requirements amount to minimum safety measures for a county of 10M people that a relatively small, top tier district in a city of 65k people can and should adopt to further protect our specific community. These include the following:
— maintain a distancing of 6 feet outdoors, particularly at lunch, or wear a mask. Note that MBUSD now requires outdoor masking.
— allow students to sit 6 feet away from others even if not at a designated lunch table;
— when students do sit indoors for lunch, ensure that doors and windows are open; if not, ensure that the HVAC system is turned on to utilize MERV-13 or better filters.
— notify parents of "close contacts" within 24 hours, even if notification must take place on a non-school day.
— notify the entire classroom within 48 hours, particularly in elementary school where no students are vaccinated, when there's a confirmed COVID case. Contact tracing can still be quite fallible so this notification allows parents other than of close contacts to test their child. For example, contact tracing involves asking a kindergartner with whom s/he played 3 days prior.
— require close contacts, regardless if vaccination status, be tested 5-7 days after exposure.
— conduct a feasibility study for any kind of testing of unvaccinated students.
— maintain vigilance in mitigating COVID as we have done well, but we are not in the clear yet locally.
