[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alternative is to require appropriate masks, not useless cloth masks.

And to have tables and heaters for those that want to eat outside.  Kids all prefer outside, there should have been open air structures at the schools months ago.  Even when Covid is less threatening, kids should be eating outside.

If short staffed at lunch, ask parents to cycle through to help.  [/quote]

What kind of appropriate masks do you expect APS to provide?  I assume APS would be providing those masks since anything other than the cloth masks is intended to be single-use.

Also, not all kids prefer outside.  At my kid’s middle school, there is an option to eat outside but the majority choose to eat inside anyone because that’s what they prefer.  That doesn’t mean APS couldn’t mandate outdoor lunch when conditions are appropriate, but it’s silly to claim that all kids prefer eating outside, especially in cold weather.[/quote]

No, the KF94 and N95 masks are multiple uses!

The KF94 boat masks are more comfortable that cloth and don’t get wet and goes against the mouth.     [/quote]

KF94 and N95 are both intended to be single use.  They can be re-used if necessary due to supply shortage, but it’s generally recommended that they not be used more than three times.  So even if APS were to make a safety compromise and allow multiple uses, it would still need to provide every student and employee at least two masks a week.  [/quote]
