“I think it’s okay. I don’t think it was a bad thing to begin with. It keeps the kids safe. They don’t really mind, it’s mostly the parents that mind,” said parent Russell Brown.Former MMA Champion Cain Velasquez Charged With Attempted Murder After Shooting At Alleged MolesterAmong those concerned about the rollback, the Liberty Education Association – the union represents the teachers.

“The teachers union is not for or against masks. The teachers is for lawful behavior and the mask mandate is currently the law. It carries the force of the law,” said union president Hillary Pedrotti.Students who spoke with KPIX 5 said most are still masking up, despite the repeal in the district. “I don’t understand why people can’t just wait the nine days- because it is nine days so I don’t get why people couldn’t have just waited,” said senior Gabriella Twigg.

KPIX 5 spoke with many parents off-camera who were in support of the mask mandate rollback, but who didn’t want to express their opinions on camera. Pedrotti says despite the repeal – almost all students are keeping theirs on. “What has been interesting is that I only had one student yesterday who didn’t have a mask on,” she told KPIX 5.Along with Liberty Union, a school district in the Sacramento-area suburb of Roseville has also approved lifting their mask mandate ahead of time.
