Only 25 percent of kids ages 5-11 are vaxxed. What happens when large groups of unvaxxed people are packed in a small room together for 8 hours a day?

Over? Did you say over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?


This made me laugh! Thanks!

I do not love the union by any means but DCPS publicly consults them whenever they want to pass blame. But actually negotiate a contract? Forget that.


+100. This is part of the reason why people hate teachers unions. The city never acts in good faith with them and its shameful.

Omg this is classic DCPS. Can there be a clear statement on masks??

I cant wait to see how the union uses this mask guidance as another weapon to negotiate for all kinds of other random stuff, once again as the expense of kids.

We've gotten very explicit emails from the school about masking and testing; when it's dropped, I expect a clear message from the school. No need to stress about what someone said on Twitter.


I couldn’t disagree more. Twitter is how you get up-to-the minute updates on important issues. And guess what. Individual school administrators make mistakes. I’m not going to rely solely on the school to tell me updates in DC Health guidance.


Sorry your school administration isn't reliable. Ours is.

In addition to masking indoors not being necessary, these guidelines also state that physical distancing and asymptomatic testing are not recommended when Covid is low.

Hopefully DCPS will adopt all three of these changes soon.

Just got an email from our MoCo daycare that masks are optional starting tomorrow. I expected them to take forever like DCPS, so now I’m thinking we might see masks optional before the end of the school year.

My kid has been asking when he can stop wearing a mask daily now, so he'll be thrilled.
