OKLAHOMA CITY -
On Tuesday, Gov. Kevin Stitt announced a new policy regarding school quarantine and advocated for districts to offer in-person learning in the spring.
“Let me be clear, the data continues to show in-person learning is safe,” Stitt said after citing a study done by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The study focused on in-person classes at schools in North Carolina.
Kari Webber, the Vice President of the Oklahoma Chapter of the AAP said Stitt’s description of the study was a “misinterpretation.”
“It’s important to note that (the classrooms involved in the study) were in communities that were proactive and put strong mitigation efforts in place,” Webber said. “That’s not the case in Oklahoma. We don’t have the mask mandates. We don’t have lower amounts of people in restaurants and bars.”
