[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are charters required to follow DCPS or could they start rolling back masking guidance to be in line with CDC? [/quote]

Lol I wish our charter would lead the charge and drop it. Lee will be one of the last to drop… ugh [/quote]

Not just Lee .. many of them will be right there with you having their 10 day quarantines, full school PCRs, cohorting, and masks until at least next fall.

To answer the question .. [b]they CAN but they will not[/b].[/quote]

This is not true. The rules on masking in schools in DC are from the DC Department of Health. They aren't from the DC PCSB nor are they from individual charter school boards. Charters have to follow the DC Department of Health. Same for DCPS, privates, parochials, etc within DC.
