The safety of our children and staff should be priority number one during this world pandemic.

Per your Tuesday Update, yes, transmission has *slowed,* but nearly all of Missouri, including Boone and all its surrounding counties, are still shown to have "high" levels of transmission.

Your comprehension of numbers is just outstanding.

Take masks off of these babies! This youngest generation of children at school have a hard enough time paying attention as it is, let alone just wrapping up their face for most of the day so they have something to play with.

Masks should be optional. CPS only cares about the ESSER money they receive for keeping mandates in place. They do not care about our kids!!!

Max

Mask the teachers and other adult staff. Leave the children alone.

I have changed my insurance providers, but not my doctors.

Barbara Williams

We have to wait for continuity of care approval, tho it’s only for a short time, then have to find several new doctors
