[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any of you had kids in your child’s class with severe peanut allergies and complied with school requests to not pack any peanut items?  We have had this come up multiple years.  If you can do that, then you can also feasibly comply with a request to have your child wear a mask because there is a severely immunocompromised student in your child’s classroom.

Or, are you the type of parent who would just pack a PB&J sandwich anyway and say it was the allergic kid’s problem?[/quote]

The severely immunocompromised student should consider other accommodations. It's unlikely that masks (cloth, poorly fitted, inconsistently-used) are sufficient mitigation in that scenario any way. Expect some students to begin masking next week and that trend to accelerate over time.[/quote]

My child has a classmate with cancer.  The masks do create a protective environment and we will continue masking for that child’s health and safety.  Many students are now wearing KN95 and surgical masks, plus some use the well-fitting ACPS cloth.  No, the accommodation is not to send that child home or isolate them, they have a right to the least restrictive, most inclusive environment that can safely be created.

If you’re not willing to mask your child to keep another kid safe, you suck.[/quote]
