State Officials Set Date for Lifting of Student Mask Mandate | Dana Point Times

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The second resolution, introduced by Trustee Lisa Davis, recommends the district adopt a policy of "non-enforcement" with masks.
53% : "A policy of non-enforcement allows staff, teachers and families a choice in the wearing of masks and allows education to move back to a more normal environment."
50% : The resolution cites Newsom, who in July 2021 said enforcement of mask-wearing in schools and school programs has always been a local responsibility.
49% : "Because suspending and excluding students from school when they refuse to wear masks in classrooms is in direct conflict with our mission to educate and prepare our students and our commitment to their success, it is proposed that the District exercise our permitted local responsibility, as explained by Governor Newsom, and modify the current policy of enforcement of mask-wearing in Capistrano Unified School District classrooms," the resolution said.
