A group of 24 Los Angeles County superintendents want the county's masking policy for close contacts with COVID-19 to align with the rest of the state.
signed and sent a letter to the LA County Department of Public Health, requesting the department align with the State on its policy of 10-day indoor masking of close contacts with COVID-19.
"Once again, we're asking for common sense safety and security protocols so we're able to effectively run our schools. Students that are asymptomatic, and don't have COVID at all are being required to wear a mask for 10 days, and it causes problems for us," Cherniss said. "We don't want to be the mask police. We think it's hard to manage and it's unnecessary so we're asking the county to align with the state.
Suverna Mistry, who is a parent of two kids in the Newhall School District, and is also running for the school board for the district, believes the mask mandate is not a good idea. . Everyone has the opportunity to do the one way masking. I think it's ridiculous for LA county to go rogue and be the only county in the state having this close contact requirement," said Mistry."It's absolutely not just a rogue group of small, anti-masker parents. It's been an ongoing battle. The children have suffered enough. They are at the least at risk, and they have taken the most burden of the pandemic and it's time to move on," she said.
