Another new mask mandate is in place and goes into effect Monday morning for the School District of Philadelphia.

The new rule is that clothe masks can no longer be worn as the only protection. Instead, 3-ply disposable masks must be worn. Officials say the 3-ply disposable mask is more effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

"The one bit of advice that we've continued to put out there is that people should be flexible in understanding that things change very quickly from time to time," officials said. "So yes, the guidance does change and we should be prepared to handle that change as it comes." Officials added that there is plenty of 3-ply disposable masks available at the schools to help students during the transition.

The guidance was released by city Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole and school Superintendent Dr. William Hite.

Teachers In ABC Unified School District, Unhappy With Contract Negotiations, Plan 'Work Slowdown'The ABC Unified School District serves the cities of Artesia, most of Cerritos, Hawaiian Gardens, the portion of Lakewood east of the San Gabriel River, and tiny portions of Long Beach, Norwalk and La Mirada. Sorry, no sympathy here, judging how all teachers acted in California in not getting back to the classroom after COVID lockdowns, none of you should get any support or sympathy from parents. Your on your own….. They came after cops, now the teachers, who’s next? Oh this school district is pretty corrupt. They never hire new teachers and nobody knows how the hiring decisions get made, let alone where all the money is going.

School district in Thurston County ending student protests on campusAfter a student-led protest and walkout at River Ridge High School in Olympia on Jan. 31 in support of a student-athlete who was the recent subject of racist taunts during a basketball game, North Thurston Public Schools said it will halt student protests on campus. North Thurston School Board meeting on 8 Feb at 6pm. Instead of protesting, how about create a solution? No? You’d rather whine avoid a problem than actually do something to fix it. Think about it. The hours spent protesting and making signs could be spent looking for people who need help due to racial abuse or rape. Never should have allowed the teachers to organize them in the first place.
