State officials are phasing out the mask mandate in Massachusetts public schools — and reactions are reliably mixed:
Massachusetts is lifting its statewide public school mask mandate at the end of the month. Districts will be left to decide whether to enact their own measures.
Beth Humberd called it"great news." Humberd has two children in Andover Public Schools, and helped foundin summer 2020. The volunteer group has pushed for in-person schooling that is"as safe and normal as possible" for students, she said. Sean McAuliffe, Hopkinton's public health director, says the town may decide to make another attempt as the mandate expires. But he's not taking anything for granted."We just can't go into the next three months thinking that we're fine," he said."Until we really get our percent positivity down below below 1%, I'm still going to be a little nervous.”
Two years into the pandemic, it's hard to distill what it's done to society at large: experiences have varied widely and some families' most painful dilemmas stay hidden from view. Chelsea Superintendent Almi Abeyta said the hard-hit city tends to err on the side of caution,"because we were hit so early in the pandemic. ... We will see what our community decides."
