I feel like a broken record here. There have been 130,000 deaths from Covid. 30 - 40 of those are in children under 18. 80% of the children who have died had serious pre-existing medical issues. The studies coming out of Europe show that children are less likely to catch it if exposed, far less likely to get sick if they catch it, and less likely to transmit it if infected. 170 kids died of Influenza this season. 500 kids die from Respiratory Syncytial Virus every winter. Coronavirus falls right in that general area of risk. Therefore, the risk to children is not enough to keep them out of school. The issue is how to keep the adults around them healthy. 

If you are afraid to keep your kids out of school due to their health alone, it is not a valid risk assessment.

If schools were free of adults then there would be little concern.
