I can't figure out why this is even up for debate.

Proof of vaccination should be required in schools. Those under 12 should be masked. If you choose not to be vaccinated, masks should be mandatory with surveillance testing. If you don't want to do that, then a hybrid option should be provided.

EDIT: And I would also say that I don't get it when people say "only" 300 kids died of COVID. Can someone give me the acceptable number of child deaths that balances out asking kids to mask and others to provide proof of vaccination? 50? 100? 200? 1000? Because that number isn't going to stay static at 300 if we decide on the "hold my beer" approach. That doesn't even factor in the other risks that you bring up.

It dovetails with my post below. Sure, the chance of "my" kid dying is low. But get enough childhood infections, and someone will.
