Make sending kids to school optional and cancel charges for absence

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

To give the parents the option of deciding whether they want to send their kids to school or not. They can continue online classes. Stop charging parents for not sending their kids to school.

As the covid-19 cases are on the rise and there’s a second lockdown coming, it is not safe for kids from different household to mix up at school.
