NYC students who are under the age of five will need to continue wearing masks in class, as those kids are not currently eligible for COVID vaccines, a City Hall official said.
, 51.6% of eligible New York City students were fully vaccinated as of February 22nd.
DOE spokesman Nathaniel Styer said “in the coming days” the department will launch a campaign targeting school communities with lower vaccination rates. He did not immediately respond to an inquiry about requiring the COVID vaccine for students for the next school year.If the mask mandate is lifted next week as expected, Williams and Lander say the school system needs to find a way to quickly offer “an opt-in approach for teachers and students who wish to remain in all masked classrooms.
When asked how this alternate structure would work, Lander said the DOE could survey each school community to determine if students and teachers wanted to be in a masked setting. “I think it'd be very different in different schools. But in those places where some meaningful number of people would like to stay in a masked classroom, it'd be great if we could offer it,” Lander said. “We should try to support principals who would want to do it.”
