Black lives absolutely matter, to me. They do not matter to DeVos or any of this current administration. They do not matter under capitalism, and they never have. Keeping schools shuttered until we have a vaccine is not going to magically fix all of this, but neither is sending everyone back with no clear safety plan. Black lives are disproportionately affected by this virus because they are consistently screwed over by a healthcare system that is racist to its core. Sending them back to face-to-face instruction, packing them on buses, exposing teachers, staff, students and parents to this more than necessary is not going to fix any of this.
