We all know that schools are petri dishes, illnesses can spread through schools really fast, especially in the lower grades. In my area, there have been outbreaks in several schools causing them to go back to virtual learning or eliminating sports and after school activities as recently as this spring.

I read the "plans" for my former elementary school, virtual and in-person learning schedules for different grades at different times, how to manage "social distancing" in classrooms and lunch periods, etc. And this was at the start of the last school year. Based on what I've seen here locally, I'm sure that they've had to make changes as they went...

And I have seen the kids getting off the school buses, even the littlest kids were wearing masks. But that didn't stop the outbreaks. It should be about keeping the kids safe, it's not a political question.
