"Monday will be a day to prepare for this transition. Students and staff will have the day to get answers to questions and prepare for the change. We will share additional information tomorrow that will help us all prepare.

The decision to wear a mask or not is a personal one for our staff and families, based on many factors. The FCPS community values our Caring Culture, and we will see that value in action as we treat each other with respect and understanding during this transition. "

+1 utterly ridiculous

From the same group of people who insisted that FCPS send out an email 30 seconds after the CDC released its new guidance. Is it exhausting constantly looking for problems where none exist to maintain a suitable level of rage? It must be.

Yeah, until you've run a company that has over 200,000 employees and clients in close contact with one another on a daily basis, you should withhold your judgment.

This. You know there are going to be people concerned about masking or unmasking either way. Since the official date was 3/1, this gives them 1 day, especially since this policy contradicts the info that they just sent on Friday.

I'm surprised they didn't cancel school today/Monday so staff and teachers could have a day to "prepare".

This. And they must have nothing better to do.

As someone who wanted mask optional, please people just take the win and move on.

Still worried about repercussions for going maskless from certain teachers.

We've learned over the past 2 yrs that only a fool trusts FCPS because FCPS will usually find a way to disappoint. They use crafty language to sneak out of past commitments, they cater to niche groups on the down low, etc. In the end, our kids usually get the short end of the stick. So forgive us for being cautious and skeptical.

You're not being cautious and skeptical. You're being paranoid and hyperbolic. And seriously, it is getting old. I am sure YOU have some other niche issue to latch onto to continue to stoke your self-righteousness, so go find it.

Someone is coo-coo! It's not the person using words like "cautious" and "skeptical. "

+1 We got what we believed was correct and we should just be pleased our children can finally remove their masks. Let's move on rather than trying to do some sort of end zone celebration about it.

I don't know. PP's comments sound exactly like what I have observed from Brabrand and company over the past few years.

I am not. I am a teacher and wanted the option. I’m actually afraid of the reaction tomorrow. There have been some nasty comments already about fellow teachers being maskless.

It’s not a win until all masks are banned from schools.
