Move classes outdoors. When it's cold, hand out blankets. Make field trips mandatory and routine. Change the curriculum. Make the long break from November to February. Be bold, and be quick about it.
Or how about this? Wearing face masks is mandatory for all students and teachers. My wife is a nurse at a major hospital treating COVID cases. Cloth masks and hand washing are standard unless you’re doing a high-risk procedure like intubation. No staff members have been infected. This is a very simple, cheap, and effective preventative measure. I cannot fathom the resistance to it from some.
