D.C. Health Lifts Mask Mandate For Schools, Childcare Facilities

https://dcist.com/story/22/03/08/dc-health-lifts-school-mask-mandate/



D.C. Health lifted its indoor mask mandate for schools on Tuesday, shifting the decision to require face coverings in schools – or not – to education leaders.

The updated guidance does not necessarily mean students in the District will immediately be able to attend school without a mask. D.C. Public Schools, the city’s traditional school system, and individual charter operators may still choose to maintain their mandates.

D.C Public Schools Chancellor Lewis Ferebee said in a statement the 51,000-student school system will keep its mandate for the time being. Ferebee said the district will engage with the Washington Teachers’ Union and other groups representing school workers before moving forward with any decisions.

“Our highest priority is ensuring a safe and supportive environment for our students to learn and grow,” Ferebee said. “For the immediate time being, masks are still required indoors at all D.C. Public Schools for students, staff and visitors.”

The school system lifted its outdoor mask requirement last week.


COVID's over whoo! I hope this isn't too soon. We'll see I guess.

I think it will go to case by case and will eventually be treated like that.
