AZ Central: 3 educators battled COVID-19 after teaching in the same room. 1 died. Now, they have a warning.

Kids begged to go Mrs. Byrd's classroom to do art projects. 
Every year, Mrs. Byrd taught folklórico dance to her first-grade students. 
And though she had once retired, Mrs. Byrd loved teaching so much, she couldn't help but return to the classroom, her husband, Jesse Byrd, said. 
Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd died on June 26 after testing positive for COVID-19.

[...]

Jeff Gregorich, the district's superintendent, said he does not believe schools can bring students back safely as cases rise.
"We're going to lose a lot of teachers if they bring the kids back again," he said.
