'There's lead paint in almost all of the schools and buildings. And nobody has really stepped up, either in the city or the state legislature, to make our city safer and healthier for everybody. That's the most frustrating part of it.' Washington had authorized about $190 billion of aid to help K-12 schools recover from the pandemic, with funds meant for tutoring students who fell behind, upgrades to school buildings, food for homeless students and other purposes.

Other plaintiffs included attorneys general of Arizona, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada and Oregon. The CDC also offers technical support for testing for lead levels in the blood and water, cleaning safely, and training public health officials, school staff, and environmental inspectors to better handle hazards effectively and safely.

Kristen Payne, a parent at Golda Meir school where a student tested positive, told the New York Times that she assumed the facilities would be properly maintained, especially after Covid.

Facilitating online classes is a good strategy to continue learning while staying at home.

It ensures safety and social distancing to both teachers and students as they don't have to step outside their doors. They only need a computer and internet connection to communicate with each other. The health sector was not prepared for this new disease and is still developing a vaccine to combat its spread. Therefore, the best prevention we can take as of now is to distant ourselves from others. However, a quick and effective response to the education disruption is important to avoid more damages to the education sector which also effects economy.
