In consideration of my children being allowed to use LPS facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, I, on behalf of myself and my undersigned child or children and all others who may claim by, under, or through myself, do hereby release, covenant not to sue and waive any and all claims, causes of action, and lawsuits that I, my child or children, or any other guardian(s) may have or may accrue against the Lincoln Public Schools, its board of education, officers, administrators, teachers, coaches, agents, representatives, and insurers, whether for personal injury, including exposure to or contraction of the virus which causes COVID-19, or property damage, whether known or unknown, in any way arising out of or resulting from my and/or my child or children’s use of any LPS property or LPS facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, including from the date signed below through the summer months until August 31, 2022.
