How about 'after successfully reducing new infections to almost zero', like many other countries? There are many solutions here other than 'shrug and give up' as the current federal government and many state governments have done.

And if that's the minimum you're willing to accept, that's fine! I'd also be ok with evidence showing kids don't die at more than 1 per million and also don't spread the disease to others. (This implicitly values a year of in-person education at a millionth of the life of a child. Arguably this is far too low, considering that we pay thousands of dollars for a year of education and almost every statistical measure of the value of life is under $10 million. If the difference in education is worth more than $100, that would put the acceptable deaths at at least 1 per 100,000)

If you're looking for case studies... Well, Sweden is the one everyone seems to be eyeing.
