[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think at this point (vaccines widely available for gross majority of FCPS students for some time, ~2 yrs in, community cases and hospitalizations and deaths where they are, etc) that labor-intensive contact tracing no longer seems worth the resources. We should be able to proceed with people keeping sick and/or symptomatic people home.[/quote]

People don’t stay home when they are sick and we still have substantial level of community transmission.  Without masks, there will be more cases spread inside schools.[/quote]

Just because masks become optional, i.e. not required but not forbidden either? Many may still choose to wear them. Anyone with concerns should certainly exercise that choice.

I think the argument people don’t stay home when sick is problematic because that has always been true yet we have not always require masks. Relying on this argument suggest never getting rid of masks. Making them optional in March is reasonable, even if you do not like how it has come about.[/quote]
