[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here, yes I know tomorrow Monday is a teacher work day… nonetheless I think it will be an interesting “week”. A few teachers I know told me that they will rearrange seats so students who are not wearing a mask will seat in the back and masked students in the front. Don’t yell at me, I’m just the messenger.[/quote]

Well teachers were told to send students down to the office who don’t wear a mask and let admin deal with it. [/quote]

Does that potentially put the teacher at risk of being in violation of the EO that states:  A child whose parent has elected that he or she is not subject to a mask mandate should not be required to wear a mask under any policy implemented by a teacher, school, school district, the Department of Education, or any other state authority.

It seems to me the teacher is out between a rock (1303 and FCPS policy) and a hard place (the EO). [/quote]

Nope, because until the courts decide otherwise, prior VA law holds (which is FCPS policy) not the EO.  The EO is representing a change in policy so if it is challenged it is not effective until the courts decide on it.[/quote]

More and more kids started coming in with masks on their chin telling me they had covid and it’s okay. I’m expecting more of that to continue. Wearing a mask but not over their nose or mouth. I stopped telling them to pull it up unless it’s completely off. It’s a losing battle with the 16-18 crowd.  I see so many with n95s but only looped on one ear. You think your kids have masks on all day but they don’t. I’m tired and just want to teach. I’ll be happy when masks are optional so I don’t have to go through this every day. [/quote]
