In my opinion, if they are not vaccinated then they should wear a mask. Kids under 12 should wear a mask since they are not able to get vaccinated.

Masks are for fear mongering and nothing else. Masks don't work and children don't get the virus anyway. The people who came up with this nonsense need masks made of duct tape.

I don't believe the masks make a lot of difference. My daughter works at the University Hospital and is required to wear a mask the whole time she is at work. She was recently diagnosed with COVID and she has been nowhere but home and work. I tested negative. So my vote for the mask is no!

Kids under 12 generally are not with those over 12 in the same school, for one. Why punish those who are vaccinated to cater to those who are not? For another. If you're getting vaccinated then have to mask up because of those who don't, why bother

Jennifer Hancock

As long as they are vaccinated with both doses, they should be optional.

Many districts are about a month away from starting the fall semester, and coronavirus infections show so sign of slowing down as vaccination rates lag.

The younger generation is now catching the Delta variant

Wendi Newman

I will worry until my younger children can be vaccinated

Chris Hill

Non-vaccinated studets crowded together in poorly ventilated buildings, sounds like a great thing. They will get a real education in being sick.

Many health officials say more children are being infected but their symptoms are typically less severe than older people.
