As students around the Bay head back to school, every district has an extra decision to make about whether or not to make masks mandatory in class.

But at Alum Rock, the timeline will depend on the city’s transmission rate, which currently remains high with a seven-day average of 600 cases.

A majority of districts across the Bay Area are only recommending masks indoors with some saying they can’t legally enforce a mandate. “Public health has authorized, the state has authorized us to make those decisions locally, obviously they were not in a position to do that universally across the state,” said Cruz.

“In Alum Rock we are a very united family and we are very respectful of everybody so we look at it from the point of view of the honor system and the respect system,” said Bauer. These districts say they’ve had conversations with parents who oppose the mandate but also say there hasn’t been too much resistance.

Why not just use the same guidelines they used last year?

The CDC just officially stated that vaccines make no difference and breakthrough infections happen. This is madness...

Don’t do this crap again. The children have been damaged enough.

Masks don’t work. Unless it’s a properly fitted n95. The tests are just theater

But sure mask up. 🎪

Another Bay Area CVS is closing next monthThe only full CVS store in this East Bay city is closing. Hmmm seems handing out mile long receipts and texting 'customers' every five minutes to refill prescriptions that they don't need isn't good for business. I look forward to them all closing down. Another great company destroyed by cost cutting management chasing bonuses.
