Wicked Local Though Gov. Charlie Baker has said his administration has no plans to reinstate a school mask mandate come fall, Brookline is among several districts across the state currently debating whether to continue asking students and staff to mask up. In a remote meeting Friday, experts on the Public Schools of Brookline’s Advisory Panel 4: Public Health, Safety and Logistics discussed the pros and cons of continuing the district’s COVID-19 mitigation strategies into the 2021-2022 school year.  Though they did not take a vote, the panel members reached informal consensus on a recommendation to require universal masking for students in preschool through sixth grade students who are not yet old enough to be vaccinated. The panel has not yet agreed on a recommendation for staff members and students older than 12.
