My kids school district did not require masks but highly recommended them. I figured I would send the kids to school with masks as I did not want to be disrespectful to their teachers who I assumed would be masked out of concern with being around so many children all day. None of their teachers wore masks, so that was the end of that. Essentially 15% of people including teachers and students wear masks. None of the adults (school staff) in their on campus after school program are masked either.
- jedberg 5y agoDo you know what the positivity rate is of your school population? Our school requires masks at all times on campus, inside or outside, vaccinated or not (we're in California). However, prior to omicron we had 0 cases (school has about 500 people at it teachers+staff+kids). With Omicron we've only had 37 cases.

- wonderwonder 5y agoOfficial numbers say we have 10 active cases and 35 total for the year in my kids elementary school which has ~750 people on campus. My kid is one of those positive cases so he is quarantined for 10 days. Keeping my youngest home as well just to be sure he does not infect anyone, just assuming he is positive as well but no symptoms. They go to the same school. Prior to omicron I think they only had 5 positive cases at the school, no masks during delta either. At this point just assumed that if no one else is masking, there is no point and the kids are not going to keep them on if the teachers don't make them or wear them themselves. Assuming wife and I have it currently as well as we are not isolating from our kid but no symptoms. Wife and I are just working from home to avoid infecting anyone at work.
