Bay Area students remained mostly masked as the state requirement to wear them in schools to prevent COVID-19 ended Monday — some by district mandate, others by choice.
It was supposed to be mask-free Monday for California school kids, but you couldn’t tell from watching Willow Glen Middle School eighth grader Trish Ha as she darted off to her first class. Though San Jose Unified School District adopted the state’s new mask-optional guidance, Ha was having none of it.
Ha was hardly alone. District spokeswoman Jennifer Maddox said mask-wearing has become so baked in that nine out of 10 kids opted to keep them on Monday and many of the few who showed up bare faced slipped theirs back on to avoid standing out. Willow Glen Principal Paul Slayton even stood maskless outside, where they haven’t been required, between classes to show kids it’s OK.
Oakland Unified announced March 10 that it will keep its current indoor mask mandate for all students, staff, contractors, volunteers and visitors in place “at least through April 15,” citing concerns “about a potential post-spring break surge” in COVID-19 cases. It’s also one of the few to maintain outdoor masking requirements as well. The district added that it’s “consulting with our labor partners and other stakeholders and expect to announce a decision within two weeks.
