ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — Both local school districts hope to reopen schools in the fall but school officials stressed the decision will depend on COVID-19 data. At a virtual listening session Thursday night that attracted over 200 participants, SAU 3 and SAU 20 Superintendents of School Julie King and David Backler cautioned that the two districts are in the beginning stages of planning for September following the state’s release of school guidance two days earlier. The two said the final plan will depend on data and what the districts see as they get into the process.
“Learning is going to resume in September but no one knows exactly what that is going to look like,” said King.
I understand not wearing a mask during school hours would cause a problem.........but is it healthy for children to wear a mask 6 plus hours a day? I heard that could also cause medical problems, something to do with the lungs...... any comments on this?
