In light of the sharp decline in COVID-19 cases, the district is anticipating the need to begin considering revisiting our health and safety protocols, which currently include mandatory masking. 

We are collecting feedback in this survey until Sunday, March 6 to inform potential changes to our masking policies.  Please note: 

• This is not an election, and the decision to continue or modify the mask mandate will be based on what is best for the health of our students and staff.
• We are seeking public input because any public health directives, such as a mask mandate, depend upon the public’s acceptance. We need to have a clearer picture of where our staff and families are before we start considering any changes to our policy.
• We are able to disaggregate the data to determine where the responses are coming from. With any survey about masks, you’re going to get a lot of outside noise. For example, we’re getting dozens of results from Germany. We will be able to eliminate non-local responses.
• At the same time, we will be able to drill down to see what those in our most vulnerable communities think.
