The masks would be required until a higher student vaccination rate is reached. In the district, only 11% of students ages 12-18 have received vaccines through CPS clinics. In Hamilton County, 29% of kids aged 12-14 are vaccinated. The same goes for at least 37% of people in the county ages 15-19.
Board Member Eve Bolton said she still doesn t understand why vaccinated people would have to wear masks in the buildings. She says the district moved to remote last year due to staff absences, not COVID-19 spreading throughout the district. It was not that we had the pandemic spread wide, it was not that we weren t doing what the science people were telling us or what the health experts were telling us, it s because we had attendance issues, Bolton said.
