Mandate includes people attending indoor school events and indoor graduations, even those taking place off campus
More than two months after state officials lifted an indoor mask mandate for public school students, Berkeley Unified leaders will require students to mask up again for the last two weeks of the academic year amid a surge of COVID cases., Superintendent Brent Stephens said all students, staff and people at district campuses and facilities must begin wearing masks on Monday. The mandate includes people attending indoor school events and indoor graduations, even those taking place off campus.
“As we are not a health agency, we must rely on these experts to guide us,” Stephens wrote. He indicated the district is seeing an increase in classroom COVID clusters, which could suggest the virus is spreading.
