St Tammany & Orleans do away with mask mandate for public schools in the fall

NOLA
Smiling faces may once again be seen in New Orleans-area schools when students head back to class next month.
NOLA Public Schools announced this week that many coronavirus protocols will be rolled back at the city's public schools, including restrictions on classroom capacity and indoor dining — as well as the requirement that all students wear face coverings.
New Orleans schools join those in St. Tammany Parish in doing away with a full mask mandate. In Jefferson Parish, meanwhile, the school system has yet to settle on protocols for the upcoming school year, which begins in August.
Under the new guidelines in New Orleans, public schools can permit fully-vaccinated students to go without masks, reversing what some have complained is an onerous requirement but one that health officials said was crucial to slowing the spread of the virus.
The announcement in New Orleans comes with the rollback of a number of other coronavirus protocols, including reduced capacity in classrooms and buses, daily temperature checks and indoor dining room limits, according to a news release from the school system. Masks will still be required on school buses.

St. Tammany isn’t requiring to be vaccinated. Simple rule of no masks required for students

I thought the decision was deferred while waiting on information coming out tomorrow from the CDC. Maybe I misunderstood what was said at the beginning of tonight’s meeting.

What’s the best source to stay up to date on St Tammany school board meetings and results of the meetings?

It wasn’t a close vote either

The St. Tammany Parish School Board voted June 10 that masks, required to be worn on campuses and in district buildings since last July to slow the spread of COVID-19, would no longer be required.

The board voted 11-0-1 to remove the mask mandate, with Dennis Cousin abstaining. Board members Matthew Greene, Michael Nation and Ron Bettencourtt were absent.

I couldn’t imagine having to go through all of this nonsense during my formative years.
