Tampa did not have a mask mandate before 8,000 of their students were out of school --- they do now due to their dismal failure. We will note that school systems with mask mandates are generally successful in keeping their students in school compared to school systems without mask mandates. In Georgia 5 schools systems in the state have completely shutdown due to Covid - none had a mask mandate.
Isn't the objective to keep students in school for in-building learning for as long as possible. If schools that require masks are more successful at this then we should emulate their example.
The 8000 kids being out of school have nothing to do with masks because they aren't sick.
You can't say "we're going to put a policy in place that restricts students from being in school if they so much as look at an infected person" and then turn around and say "SEE??? LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE OUT OF SCHOOL!!!"
Twat.
Are you trying to claim that not a single child in the district had Covid. LOL
Note that school districts requiring masks from the very first day of school are not having this problem. Only schools districts not requiring masks are shutting down totally or have large numbers of children out in less than a week.
Mandating mask will allow in-building learning to go on for a much longer period of time without major issues. Wake County year-round schools proved it this summer -- while there were individual instances of students who were sick -- it did not lead to schools shutting down or large numbers of students being sent home -- all thanks to masks.
No, you jackass. Unlike you, I try to say what I mean and not obfuscate. I said "most of the kids home aren't sick". Probably 95%?
Like who. Name them.
Fortunately, less and less people actually believe in the witchcraft you spout.
Let's take a look at neighboring state Georgia -- where school districts without mask mandates have shutdown in less than a week while other school districts requiring masks are still open with limited issues.

You avoided the question (surprise). Which school districts are experiencing "limited" issues?
