The American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC both recommend "universal masking" in schools.

We need a clear and robust policy on masking for the safety of all of our children in all Seminole County Public Schools.

Sara Bode, MD, FAAP, chair-person elect of the AAP Council on School Health Executive Committee: "There are many children and others who cannot be vaccinated. This is why it’s important to use every tool in our toolkit to safeguard children from COVID-19. Universal masking is one of those tools, and has been proven effective in protecting people against other respiratory diseases, as well. It’s also the most effective strategy to create consistent messages and expectations among students.”

CDC: "Given new evidence on the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant, CDC has updated the guidance for fully vaccinated people. CDC recommends universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status."
