Here the private schools are required to follow the rules of the county they are in. Three private school were cited by a county here and went to court today. Two agreed to follow the rules (masks indoors) and the third lost in court and must enforce the mask rule inside AND allow access to the county to supervise.
The catholic schools here have been following the mask rules since the beginning. Last year they were in person, in school all the time, and you never heard a peep out of them. They just wanted to stay in school all day. I think they made some adjustments like the Specials teachers would go to the kids rather than the kids changing rooms, and I think they spread out the lunch periods to allow 6’ or so feet between kids. I also think they suspended indoor sports like basketball and volleyball.
It is just amazing to me to see the protests (and the crazy speeches parents are making - the Brian Williams clips are unbelieveable). Here the counties made the call, there were some protests from some at the very beginning of August, but for the most part it isn’t even an issue anymore. Denver’s mayor made the rule for all of Denver, including DPS and it’s been fine. Some of the more suburban counties had protests and threats to pull their kids from school. Go ahead, who cares!
