[quote=Anonymous]Our school will continue to require masks, thankfully.  Their position is basically that their entire mitigation strategy relies on masking, none of the agencies in charge of public health have indicated that schools should make masks optional (nor is there any guidance on how to cobble together an effective mitigation strategy if masks are suddenly removed from the equation), there is a law in place that tells us to follow CDC guidance, and there are significant unresolved legal questions about the use of the EO to override the procedures that have been developed in close coordination with the departments of health.  The status quo governs until the health department and lawyers tell them otherwise.  This is what it looks like when grown ups are trying to keep kids and staff safe, while prioritizing keeping schools open.  This is a school that isn’t masking because it’s forced to - it’s just working hard to keep kids on campus.  Some schools may jump at the opportunity to loosen mask requirements and now they have legal cover to do that.  If that’s your preference and that’s what your school is doing, I don’t have a problem with that, but I’m glad the institution I’ve trusted for years isn’t going that route.[/quote]
