Corcoran said families should have the option of determining whether their child wears a face covering. He said students with disabilities and those learning English are particularly impeded by the one size fits all mask policies and that some families may have opted to pull their child out of school due to the mandate.
His letter closes with the request for districts which currently are implementing a mandated face covering policy (to) revise their policy to be voluntary for the 2021-22 school year.
Sarasota County School Board Chairwoman Shirley Brown said the commissioner s directive didn t change much. We were considering the same thing. It may not be necessary next year, but we would make it optional. It s on the agenda to discuss, even without his mandate, Brown said. We have seen it isn t spreading as much inside the school as it is outside.
