Like everyone else, school personnel have gotten complacent. I know teachers who have been sent home with COVID, and while not pleasant, wasn’t as devastating as they thought it would be. However, for those with underlying conditions, it could be deadly. Please wear a mask to protect others, even if you don’t care if you catch it! Same with the students.

Just know it’s NOT mandatory. That’s illegal at this point in time. If someone really challenged Pensacola on it, they’d have to back off.

A teacher had a child at home confirmed postive. However teachers are essential workers so they went to school everyday and taught their class. (By order not choice)

Masks are NOT MANDATORY in schools and no one in the school district wants to answer the question, “WHY?”

Certain school board members stated in the last workshop that they are of the opinion that gatherings of students at parties spread Covid, but gatherings of students at school do not spread Covid.
Figure out the pseudo-science behind that line of thinking!!

Anyone who is reading this should reach out to the school board, the new superintendent, and principals and ask why masks are “encouraged” but not mandated.

The simple answer is that they don’t want to deal with the pushback from those parents who are opposed.

There is no social distancing in schools, there are very few masks being worn, and schools are not being sanitized regularly or at all.

The spread of Covid is much worse now than it was in March when schools went to remote learning, and yet school district leadership is burying their heads in the sand and putting children, teachers, and the entire community at risk.

This announcement to keep parent and volunteer restrictions in place was in response to the school board trying to lift the restrictions as Covid cases are on the rise.
They followed with a discussion of how to legally compel remote learners to return to traditional classrooms.
