[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand some parents are frustrated or confused by continued masking policies, but please note that charters have fewer resources to ensure there is equitable access for students with disabilities, many of whom are high risk of severe outcomes from covid. Community spread continues to be high. Please read this guidance from DOE.

[i]School districts, schools, early childhood centers and homes, and classrooms may still choose to implement masking requirements at any COVID-19 Community Level depending on their community’s needs – and especially keeping in mind those for whom these prevention strategies provide critical protection for in-person learning. Implementing layered prevention strategies (using multiple prevention strategies together) in schools can protect the rights of students with disabilities by ensuring their continued access to safe in-person learning.

Schools must continue to take action to preserve safe in-person learning opportunities for students with disabilities, including those at high risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19. To comply with their Federal non-discrimination obligations under Section 504, school districts must make reasonable modifications when necessary to ensure equal access for their students with disabilities, absent a showing that the modifications would constitute a fundamental alteration or undue administrative burden to the program.[/i]

Equity now being weaponized for anyone to make up whatever policy they want. Expect to see more of this.[/quote]
