Mask Up Palm Beach County School Kids
.jpg)
The problem is that without masks, children are at high risk of contracting COVID-19, especially the Delta variant. The School Board must take action & require masks and other health and safety protocols. The School Board's job is to maintain a safe learning place for our children, and without masks it now becomes an unsafe, ticking time-bomb, waiting to explode.
Why is this important?
This is so key to keeping our children safe in the schools this coming year and in the future due to the fact that the delta variant is raging the country at a rapid rate and masks keep us safe. As a parent of two wonderful children, I want to keep them safe and I would do anything, and many other parents would do the same. Keeping our kids safe is so key because they are the future of this very world. Please contact your friends and family that live in Palm Beach County and encourage them to support our petition. Also, while we were doing our petition, we saw that a school in Atlanta that was only one week into school had 100 kids in isolation, and 9 COVID-19 cases, with 8th & 6th grade classes going virtual for the time being, this is why masks are needed due to the fact that children are in school for 6-8 hours per day. It would be very negligent to not have masks in schools because children are there for a very long time and they would make the spread of COVID-19 easier. It is only going to get worse, last year schools only had about 50% of their students in-person, now with 100%, it will only make a potential outbreak worse, our children depend on us and the schools to keep them safe and we cannot let them down.
How it will be delivered
We will send letters, phone calls and more to contact our District reps and email signatures, and have our kids voice their voice.
