[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello.  I just read a PTA email that said masks would be optional starting March 1.  Has anyone else heard a date?[/quote]

What PTA sent that?  ACPS school board hasn’t even voted on the issue yet.[/quote]

What do they need to vote on? The ability to opt out of wearing a mask is now the law. [/quote]

Just because something was signed into law doesn’t  mean it’s automatically enforceable and binding.  Plenty of illegal laws on the books.  Some of this regarding masking in schools  is still playing out in the courts, including a challenge under federal ADA for students with disabilities.[/quote]

I can guarantee they will follow the law AND they would not do anything that might ever cause them to be accused of segregating students within a school on purpose and with intent. And if you didn’t know that, you haven’t paid attention.

If you are that fearful, homeschool. Seriously. To act as if some unmasked little kids will cause your masked child harm is the height of paranoia and you should embarrassed by your hysteria.[/quote]

You all love to accuse everyone of paranoia and hysteria.  I was merely commenting from a legal perspective, no fear over here.  You read way too much into my comments!  My kids will continue attending school in person, but thanks for suggesting homeschooling.[/quote]

Schools “segregate” students all the time according to characteristics they can legally do so (ie they cannot segregate on race, need to put disabled children in the least restrictive environment, etc.). I don’t think it is clear that there is anything stopping a school from “segregating” students at least to some extent based on whether there parents direct their children to put others at risk by not wearing a mask.[/quote]

Operational logistics make it impossible regardless. Three kids unmask next week, ten kids the following, your kid tells you they're still masking but aren't, etc. I don't don't if you're being argumentative or just aren't particularly clever.[/quote]
