[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CDC says masked kids don’t count as a close contact. All kids will be masked.[/quote]

No, that’s not what CDC says. CDC added the following exception to the definition of close contact: “ In the K–12 indoor classroom setting, the close contact definition excludes students who were within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student (laboratory-confirmed or a clinically compatible illness) if both the infected student and the exposed student(s) correctly and consistently wore well-fitting masks the entire time.  This exception does not apply to teachers, staff, or other adults in the indoor classroom setting.”

So two things - One, if a teacher is unvaccinated or refuses to disclose vaccination status, the whole class will still need to go virtual since the teacher will need to quarantine.

Two, there is not a single young elementary student who wears a well-fitted mask correctly for extended periods, nevertheless for an entire school day. Note that well-fitted and correctly not only means over nose and mouth which many young children find difficult to follow but also no gaps between mask and face.

Three, lunch - that ruins “consistently.”[/quote]

And if you don’t believe me about no young child is wearing a mask correctly and consistently, take a look at the below to see how the CDC defines that - this is a linked page in the exception so meant to apply here.

So how about we stop punishing the kids and unmask them. Other parts of the country and private schools have done this successfully. Masks were never meant to be worn 6-8 hours at a time.

What did Beauvoir do last year? Maybe they wore masks. But they quietly stayed open all year without incident. Before vaccinations. [/quote]

Feel free to go private. [/quote]
