The CDC currently recommends that all children aged two years and above wear face masks while at school.
this week rescinded a policy that made mask-wearing optional, just three days after it was initially adopted as part of an updated COVID-19 safety plan.
On December 13, Rockridge Board of Education voted to make mask-wearing optional for students and staff beginning on January 6, 2021, when classes are set to resume.Previous COVID safety rules had required mask-wearing at the district's five schools, but an updated plan was published that outlined the policy on masks at five"mitigation levels."
School board president Nathan Faith supported the mask-optional policy, and previously pointed to high infection rates in jurisdictions with strict mask requirements.
