I agree its in line with the Bishop's stance on masks a Church - optional.

BI sent an email last night asking parents their preference saying the diocese is considering what to do. I will be livid if they lift the mask mandate with the rate of infections being so high right now.

That’s great news that BI is giving parents a voice.

I think it should be up to the kids and the teachers who are there every day and will suffer the consequences of getting covid. The kids don't care about wearing masks. They're used to it and would much prefer wearing masks than being virtual. It is the idiot parents who have turned this into some political and culture war. The timing is nuts.

Our private - the best in the state of VA - just sent out an announcement today that the mask requirement will continue and will be strictly enforced. Take that you PoS trumplicans with your pathetic Governor Youngkin.

I teach at private school in Fairfax. Kids are dropping like flies after the long weekend. 3-6 absent students per class.

As a parent with kids in VA privates, I have been and will be pissed if all this leads to my kids missing even more school. My hope is that both private and public schools will go to court and draw it out wayyyy until summer when hopefully the raging infection surge has subsided... don't think Youngkin can explain how "urgently" unmasking needs to happen seeing as teachers/kids are half way thru the school year with VA cases and hospitalizations are near all time high. His justification was weak - so kids can do lockdown drills but let's waive asking everyone to mask because some wear a mask improperly, suffering impurities, etc.

So you're some Potomac booster that thinks your school is the BEST. Love how you threw it in there.

Funnily enough PP you are the only one who named the school - because of course Potomac really is and always has been ranked as the #1 school in the state of VA. When you know You know.

Removing masks does not mean the school will go virtual.

Now that vaccines are available, teachers and students do not need to quarantine due to exposure

And, with a 5 day isolation period, those that are sick and recovering can come back sooner

Schools are not shutting down

Masks don't prevent mass absenteeism as kids and teachers are getting sick outside of schools at other maskless activities.

This is utter bullshit. Everyone does not easily recover. Healthy friends and their families are quite sick and having lingering issues and all were vaccinated and boosted with no health issues prior.

If you think you and your family are at significant risk from COVID, and don't want to contract it, you really need to stay home for the next several weeks. I recommend you work from home and don't send your kids to school.

Also, if teachers and older kids don't have boosters and are more than 6mos past shot 2 they do have to stay home for 5 days if close contact under current CDC and health department rules. And, everyone who contracts it is home for at least 5 days. If you don't have enough teachers and staff who can come to school, there's no choice but to close or shift to remote learning.

And when teachers and staff start making this choice -- welcome back to remote learning.

The CDC says 12-17 do not need to quarantined if they have had their primary does but are not yet boosted. Which would be almost all high schools students.

That's fine. Virtual it is. Make the kids suffer either way. Masks 8 hours a day for almost 2 years is no way to live!

It's a pandemic so we are all suffering, from young to old. My kids and their cousins (all vaccinated and will be boosted) appreciate the opportunity to be with their classmates in person, masking makes this possible. Masks do not and have not harmed an individual. They are safe to wear all day.  They decrease the chance of getting COVID-19 and the risk of spreading the virus to others.
