Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.Parents and teachers say they are concerned that New York City schools and city officials are not being forceful enough about encouraging indoor masking as COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses rise in the city ahead of winter break.
“As always, we follow the guidance of our health experts,” he wrote. “Therefore … we are encouraging every student and staff member to mask up as we head into the winter season.” Heather Dailey, a parent in Queens, said she was disappointed she had not gotten more guidance directly from her school. “Not even COVID rates are up, here’s what you can do to protect your family.’”“I don’t think it’s a great idea to leave masks optional right now,” said Mary Ann Blau, a parent of elementary schoolers in Brooklyn. She said one of her kids was in close contact with a positive case last week, and more of the students in that child’s class wore masks as a result.
