Students and staff in one class at a public school in Montgomery County, Maryland, are being told that they must wear masks for the next 10 days after three “or more” people tested positive for COVID-19.
In a letter sent home to parents on Tuesday, Rosemary Hills Elementary School principal Rebecca Irwin Kennedy wrote that KN95 masks would be distributed and students and staff in “identified classes or activities” will be required to mask up while in school for the next 10 days “except when eating or drinking.”
The letter states that after a 10-day period, “masks will become optional again.”
That period will end on Sept. 11, according to school system spokesperson Christopher Cram.
At-home rapid test kits are also being sent home and made available for students. Parents are being asked to report any positive test results to the school attendance office.

Stop the testing.
Problem solved.
Schools are little germ factories...trying to prevent viruses from hopping around is impossible...IDIOTS
It’s the parents complying, so why should I care?
We all know masks don’t work!!!! Yet they keep forcing kids and people to wear them…these people are evil! And the blind think it’s “for their safety”. Box cars were deemed “for your safety” as well.
Parents should keep the kids home until after Sept. 11. If the school keeps losing money from absent students, they’ll do away with the masks.
too bad public education doesn’t react when 3 or more students fail education standards.
traditional education is no longer the objective.
Two reasons to care—
1-At some point you will literally pay for this
2- At some point this scared , scarred kids will be tyrants running this country.
So right. My wife was a 4th grade teacher for a long time.
She would get sick with something in September and I would get it in October. We could put it on a calendar.
... and instruct the parents that if the kid has symptoms of the Fauci Flu or of a summer cold, keep them home until they’re better ... as what was the practice for over a hundred years until the current insanity took hold. These school “officials” clearly have not grasped nor have they accepted the physical reality that wearing a mask does not affect transmission of a respiratory virus ... doing so is all for show and accomplishes nothing good.
Welcome to America muchachos and muchachas!
If you’re not homeschooling yet, what the hell is your problem?
Just say “no”
#1 Rule in sample identification: Don’t test for something you don’t want to find.
Just
Don’t
Comply
Nothing I can do. And the parents don’t seem to care.
Kids have little risk of serious complications particularly with the newer less virulent strains nor were that at risk with the initial strain of COVID. I’d be more worried about a TB outbreak from all the thousands of illegal alien kids who come from areas with endemic TB and who have never been screened for any diseases. As for masks, the schools might as well pass out acifidity bags for all the good masks do. Have you ever seen school age kids correctly wear a mask back in the mask mandate days?
True-—you do have a point. Leaving it to God——in the scope of things, ultimately what it boils down to.
Not too surprising. You can’t get more left-wing than Montgomery County, Maryland.
And you watch... every mask wearing/complying student will come down with the virus!
The kids should ALL say “NO! You fooled us once, we did what you said, wore masks, kept our distance, washed our hands, and yet we ALL got covid! We refuse to wear the horrible things again since they DO NOT WORK!”
What are they gonna do? Expell everyone?
