Martin County teacher: Full capacity schools aren't safe

But how do Martin County teachers feel about going back to school in the fall? Kim Davis, a veteran teacher of 20 years, said the coronavirus has changed everything. She and many of her colleagues have been losing sleep over the coming school year. 'Schools at full capacity do not make for a safe environment, for the students [and] for us,' said Davis. As a parent, Davis won’t be sending her daughter back to high school in person. She is choosing the online option. 'To be honest with you, I think most of us are trying to figure out how we would not contract the virus all day,' said Davis. 'Our staff and students are our No. 1 resource, so their safety is our priority,' said Julie Sessa, the coordinator of risk and employee benefits for the Martin County School District.
