Frustration continues over ongoing mask mandate in CA schools.
From heated school board meetings in Santee to anti-mask rallies in Poway, young children and their parents are becoming more vocal over California's indoor school mask mandate that has no expiration date.
PUSD superintendent Marian Kim Phelps wrote a two-page letter to Governor Gavin Newsom and the county's health officer Dr. Wilma Wooten last week asking for an immediate time frame as to when the mandate would be lifted.The letter reads in part,"Our students and staff mental health is suffering; staff is exhausted. Parents are divided. Trust has eroded. We are currently in a state of emergency in our own school districts. We have students protesting at alarming, growing numbers.
