RADNOR, Pa. — Several local school districts decided to ditch their mask requirements Tuesday night as COVID rates decline. At Radnor Township’s school board meeting, parents overwhelming turned out to ask school leaders to end the mask mandate.
“Decisions of masking kids has to balance the question of how much it’s really helping,” one woman said.Radnor’s old health plan required face coverings when county transmission levels are high and at least 2.5 percent of a school’s total population tests positive. The school district has seen a significant decrease in COVID cases among students and staff. During the week of Dec. 31, they had 208 cases, but that was down to 18 during the first week of February.
Over at the Garnett Valley School District, Garnet Valley School District voted to drop its current mask mandate, effective Wednesday.
