Agree. They are not saying they will fight it, but they want to keep up the scare tactics to kerp people masking.
Come on. Why is everyone acting like they have a vested interest in kids masking? It's not like Brabrand and the SB stands to benefit. They're just overly cautiuos.
FCPS admin has a vested interest in sticking to the đˇ masking guidelines of the CDC because their argument in the lawsuit (still ongoing) re: local control is based on FCPS following CDC as a higher authority.
Teachers have a vested interest in FCPS keeping kids masked because they are with kids all day.
Si yes, FCOS would want to keep kids masked as long as possible. Not forever, but longer than others would say is "necessary".

I think itâs political for the school board. They donât want to let the Rs get a win.
Letâs clean house in 2023 with the exception of McLaughlin.

We are finally writing you to acknowledge that our legal team says it's pointless to continue the lawsuit. So, we are hoping and praying that either the CDC revises their guidelines next week or that we that numbers of covid cases drop by next week so that we can say we lifted the mask requirement for any reason other than the law that just passed that's going to require us to do it by March 1.
We want more grace and patience to continue doing things our way for our agenda.

Precisely.
And add: "this year can't end soon enough!"

This is how I read it too. And, I read it as kids can opt out of masks immediately. E02 allows it right now. They won't fight it!

+1. Itâs really not hard to understand. The problem is so many here have a vendetta against FCPS that they try to make everything a conspiracy or scandal.

That's not what the email says. They didn't want to admit defeat so they intentionally garbled together the law vs. rule distinction.

I am sure they are crossing their fingers their own metrics get met by March 1 and/or CDC does something they can couch as meeting their metrics by then to go along with the law.
And you know what? I donât really care. Itâs fine if they want to save a little face, perfectly natural. NBD.

My prediction:
Sometime between now and March 1, another email will come saying that the masks would be optional as of March 1 due to lower COVID numbers. The FCPS just doesnât want to accept the defeat right away but I donât think they would keep digging in.
