[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My medically vulnerable 7 year old child who was privileged to be shielded for nearly a year will be back at school this fall. Many of us are in that boat. I tried searching through posts to find if this had already been posted. Have other parents living in places where the local government has made mask requirements in schools unlawful figured out ways to advocate or ‘encourage’ masks in any way in their children’s schools if you are in a district where without the law the schools would almost for sure follow CDC rules and require masking? Writing to administrators? Reaching out to parents? Just curious if there’s any grass roots ways to help encourage masks within a neighborhood elementary. Perhaps that’s better than trying to go district wide (though this is of course about the ENTIRE community not just our neighborhood school). My son has underlying health conditions and did remote all last year but that’s not an option this year and I’m considering reaching out to his teacher and maybe trying to email parents to talk about masks, wouldn’t help us make friends but perhaps appeal to parents who need to understand the particular danger this is placing on vulnerable children. It feels like we are walking a tightrope at the moment. I don’t know how I can channel my nervous energy to do everything I can to try to improve the public health guidance in a state that has wiped its hands of Covid safety tools.

I am so sorry you are in this spot. That said, masks on kids will not keep your child safe in school. If school is unsafe, keep them home until there is a vaccine. [/quote]
