The fallout from Baker’s mask move
Baker’s decision comes as blue-state governors across the country relax their mask rules. Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is targeting the same date as Baker to ease his school mask mandate; the governors of Rhode Island, New Jersey and Delaware intend to follow suit in March.
School districts here are now grappling with whether students and faculty should mask up or down. As they deliberate,
Glenn Koocher, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of
School Committees, warned that school board meetings could grow
contentious. https://www.politico.com/newsletters/massachusetts-playbook/2022/02/10/the-fallout-from-bakers-mask-move-00007648
“The parents who have always supported masking, which is the vast majority, may not be comfortable unmasking all the kids. The anti-maskers, who are a small but extremely vocal faction, will want the masks taken off immediately,” Koocher told Playbook. “When it kicks back to the local level, it can be kicking local school board members in the behind from the perpetually disgruntled.”
