masks for all schools

 So it's finally official, all kids (with a few exemptions) will be masked up until Oct. I'm very glad to see Baker take a stand with the Education Commissioner Riley to make this call now, before things get any uglier. 

And of coarse some unions are all in.. and some, like the cops and correctional employees want something for not only protecting their own lives, but their families as well and already there is talk of court challenges to Baker's mandate for vacations of all state employees under his responsibility.

 And some companies are now going to charge you more in health care premiums if your not going to get vaccinated. Now were talking.

 There are some exemptions. The requirement does not apply to children younger than the age of 5, as well as those who cannot wear a mask due to medical conditions or behavioral needs.

 That said, under the current plan, after Oct. 1, state officials will allow middle schools and high schools in which 80 percent of students and staff are vaccinated to lift the mask mandate — but only for vaccinated individuals.

In alignment with the Baker administration’s statewide face covering guidelines, un-vaccinated students and staff would be required to continue wearing masks indoors, while vaccinated individuals could go unmasked in those schools.
