Does this mean DC school mask mandate is over?

Also if the only think in the way is the union, then I guess charters can do what they want.

My fear is that we’ll hear from Ferebee and that the decision will be some absurd crap like the mandate will be removed when cases are zero and with a month “lead time.”

Evidently Bowser thinks it's fine for rich kids to have the option to unmask in school, but the rest of us are forced to adhere to unscientific mandates that the rest of the world has abandoned:

https://wjla.com/news/local/facing-lawsuit-from-parents-mayor-bowser-makes-masks-in-dc-private-schools-optional-pandemic-classroom

Call and demand that public school kids get the same choice as private school kids!

Ferebee's office: 202-442-5885
Bowser's office: 202-727-2643

My kid's private high school is 99% vaccinated.
My DCPS kid's school is ?? vaccinated.

I support masks in DCPS.

I’m so tired of the unvaccinated driving policy.

The funny thing is, the unvaccinated aren't the ones that are demanding continued restrictions.

I have several unvaccinated family members. They stopped worrying about the pandemic a long time ago, and never really followed any of the restrictions or guidelines. They've made their choice, and are willing to live with the risks.

But under CDC guidance, making masking optional isn't tied (at least directly) to vax rates. So it isn't even pertinent here.

Or under DC Health guidance.

True elsewhere in the country but in DC there is a substantial population that refuses to get vaccinated, opposes vaccine mandates, but also wants masks worn forever to "protect" them

it's absurd but Bowser is pandering to them in the run up to an election

I don't think we know that. Do you have some supporting documentation for this belief? I think it's conceivable that you have people that don't want to be vaccinated and ALSO support mask optional in schools. For what reasons, I don't know, but I don't understand not wanting to vax at this stage.

All the documentation you need is how Bowser allowed them to bully her.

We especially saw this with gyms who were pleading with the mayor to be allowed to enforce a vaccine mandate and drop masks and she refused.

That doesn't make any sense. The unvaccinated bullied Bowser to require continued masking? I don't see that at all. I've only seen highly nervous vaccinated people demanding that masking continue.

You don’t have data either that the majority who are not vax support mask optional.

...and making excuses for people who refuse free and convenient vaccinations because equity.

[Anonymous]

Just wait and observe which schools with majority not wearing mask vs which schools majority will be in 2-3 weeks after mandate is lifted.

This. I mean DC was going to churches and knocking on doors. Access is not an issue.

The wtu sent out an email today saying ferebee will announce mask optional for DCPS later today. The WTU is not opposing the decision
