The Dare County Board of Education will meet in a special session Thursday, July 29, to consider local implementation of Gov. Roy Cooper’s guidelines for an in-person return to school, including mask mandates for younger students.
The 5 p.m. meeting at First Flight High School in Kill Devil Hills is open to the public and will be broadcast live via YouTube on the district website. Since it is a special meeting, there will be no public comments heard.
Gov. Cooper on Wednesday announced that school districts should require masks for all students and staff in elementary and middle schools, regardless of vaccination status. There is no COVID-19 vaccine available for children under 12.
Cooper also urged school districts to require masks for all unvaccinated students and staff in high schools, as well.
Wearing masks instead of following the science? OSHA has a 5000 ppm limit for CO2. Studies, performed by experts (PHds) have shown that 10 year olds with masks get just over 13,000 ppm CO2 and the ppm is higher with younger children. Facts like this are not permitted on another local website.
