Who are the people to contact at the county level? I think my preschool and others will struggle to go against a strongly worded recommendation regardless of what they think. I can’t find an email address for dr. Bridger and it doesn’t seem the permanent position is going to be filled anytime soon[/quote]

Well, we are mostly privileged compared to the child care workers. But, you don't formulate public health policy based on what the less privileged party wants. Look at the health-related benefits and risks of the policy, and make a recommendation. This should not be about what your preferred stakeholder wants.[/quote]

I’m not even sure how many childcare workers are even pushing for this?

This is what I found for Dr. Bridgers: mailto:james.bridgers@montgomerycountymd.gov.  As for who else would be relevant 
, I’m not are but there are other staff, maybe ek wine else would know.

I am active in the child care alliance and childcare groups. The great majority of childcare providers want and have already taken masks off. Some want to keep masks on to prevent colds but they are in the super minority. It’s not a concern for Covid anymore.

The reason some are keeping masks on is because they face pressure from parents who don’t want to take off their children’s masks. But, what the parents don’t want to accept is that the kids aren’t wearing masks properly to begin with. The masks are off for many periods during the day such as meal times, nap times.

The reason others are keeping masks on is because they do not understand that the guidance is only a suggestion, not mandatory.
