Make masks optional for the 2021-22 school year in Marion County School District (Florida)

The Issue

As COVID numbers have declined, the vaccine has been widely available for over 6 months now,  and the CDC has changed their recommendations, masks are no longer imperative.  We feel parents and children should have the right to choose for themselves whether students wear masks at school.  Of course, those that want to wear masks are welcome to but we want the mandatory mask requirement to be removed!  Let our children breathe free!  Let our children communicate and learn  more effectively! Remove the mask mandate.
