The school districts include Adams 12, Aurora, Cherry Creek, Douglas County, Jeffco Public Schools, Littleton and Westminster. They say data shows a low rate of transmission in schools.

They also say students who are not sick end up missing out on critical end-of-the-year events such as advanced placement exams and graduation ceremonies. They've submitted a proposal to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to end the quarantine process for students.
