Several Clarke County School District parents started a petition after they’d learned that CCSD had quietly rescinded the mask mandate for summer school, as previously reported in Flagpole. While communication on masks was sent out via a letter to parents, several parents complained that there was not enough of an effort to make sure that parents were notified of the change.
“Masks are optional for fully vaccinated individuals during Summer School. Aligned with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, CCSD strongly urges anyone who is not fully vaccinated to wear a mask while indoors,” spokesman Donald Porter said in a statement. “Additionally, health and safety strategies such as hand washing and social distancing continue to be encouraged during the school day, and current COVID-19 reporting protocols remain in place. So if any child, staff member, or someone in their household tests positive for COVID-19, the school is to be notified promptly.”
CCSD has not yet announced a mask policy for the coming school year, but some parents are unhappy about the summer policy.
“As a parent, I can’t understate how important it was for the 2020-21 school year that the district required masks and seemed to be making efforts to protect the health and safety of our kids. They did significantly better in this respect than in the surrounding counties,” Dina Canup said. “CCSD needs to clearly state and communicate the mask requirements for fall 2021, and soon. Kids under 12 aren’t even eligible for the vaccine, and with the Delta variant due to be the dominant strain in the US within the coming weeks, it’s even more urgent and necessary to require masks until kids under 12 can be fully vaccinated.”

My two teens are still wearing masks, as am I. Their father keeps saying “I wish y’all would stop wearing those masks!”. He does not believe Covid is real. He’s my soon to be exhusband.— Virginia Smith (@VirginiaSmith69) July 6, 2021
OK, karen (picture).
He does not believe Covid is real?
or he does not believe the threat Covid is as bad as portrayed?
I don’t have the references handy but I am pretty sure:
1) Kids are a very low probability of contagion in general
2) Kids spend a lot of time in areas that are not conducive to contagion
3) Kids masks are MUCH more dangerous than COVID
These are just stupid parents who drank the Kool Aid.
Dude doesn’t know how lucky is he.
Covid ain’t as ugly as his wife
I’d call her soon-to-be ex-husband “Mr. Lucky”.
They always use “He does not believe Covid is real.” which is probably patent BS. He knows it is a real disease, but he also knows that masks do nothing to stop the spread. Virginia and their sons probably wear their masks when walking alone outside and driving alone in the car.
“Karen” is the greatest threat this nation has ever faced. She is destroying everything in the name of feelings and emotions.
Lucky man.
Only a fool would want to be married to such a deranged woman.
Sorry Virginia, I can't understand why your "soon to be exhusband" would want you to stop wearing a mask.
If it was me I would have insisted that you wear a bag.
Does Dina Canup work/write for Flagpole?
If so, interesting that she was used in this article and the rag didn’t reveal the relationship.

I work in academia and write about theatre. I'm also a progressive, a mom, and a book lover. My views are my own and not representative of my workplace.
I like Pelosi a lot but she is not from here. I'm more interested in @staceyabrams' opinion on that right now but @MsLaToshaBrown is another hero of this election as far as I'm concerned. https://t.co/7AaaSSDhhg— Dina Canup (@DinaCanup) November 6, 2020

Pun intended.
