Masks optional in non-AC spaces next week

Tweet

The NJ governor issued a mask mandate for all schools for at least the first couple of weeks of school. There was an exception included in the order for times when the heat was going to be excessive and in areas with no air conditioning. This first week the district superintendent said people didn't have to wear masks in those areas though they did in spaces with working air conditioning. We received an email late in the day today stating that the same policy would be in effect for next week. The students will be happy. Most didn't wear masks in my non-air conditioned 2nd floor classroom this week. I wore a mask for the first 6 periods each day but 7th is my lunch alone in my classroom and then by 8th I was like "screw it". That is my smallest class, though, and they all insist on sitting as far away from me as possible so I am not too freaked out about it. Are you still wearing a mask?
