Texas has 1,247 school districts:

That's roughly 16 parent Covid fatalities per school. This, of course, ignores population clustering which is going to mean more deaths in larger school districts. And there's some fuzziness because not everybody in the demographic has children (although Texas is probably higher in that regard).
Granted this probably overcounts a bit because 55-59 may not have children in school anymore. However, this also doesn't count people who survived but are in bad shape (who probably outnumber deaths by quite a bit) which may be worse from a student mental health point of view.
I see no contradiction to what I have said and I stand by it.
- prepend 4y agoA school district has multiple schools. So while there’s 1247 districts, there’s 20,000 schools do your math is very off. Your statement about most teachers is blatantly wrong. There are more survivors, but still not the vast majority of teachers. [0] https://www.greatschools.org/texas/ https://www.greatschools.org/texas/
