Rep. Pressley's Statement on Boston Student Walkout
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care Education
Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) issued the following statement expressing solidarity with Boston students demanding stronger COVID-19 safety measures in schools:
"Our ongoing COVID-19 response must always center the health, safety and wellbeing of our young people. I stand in solidarity with the students demanding stronger COVID-19 safety measures, including remote learning flexibilities, and I urge Governor Baker and Commissioner Riley to heed their calls.
"All students and educators deserve to be safe and healthy in school. The Baker Administration's refusal to provide much-needed flexibilities for schools facing record staffing shortages and surges in cases is dangerous, and they must reverse course."
