New York state is taking a big step in returning to normalcy, especially for kids and anyone in schools who have dealt with remote learning and isolation
However, individual districts can still make their own rules and requirements, so it is possible that some children in the state will still have to wear the protective gear. Students and staff can also continue wearing their masks, if they so choose.
"Every mom and dad, every student should know that their individual choice is going to be supported — just like every other individual choice in this school district," said Dr. Joseph Ricca, the superintendent for the White Plains school district."Maybe you want to wear a mask tomorrow and you don’t want to wear one on Thursday, that’s OK too. Maybe you decide you want to wear a mask for a couple weeks and then you want to take it off for a while that’s fine.
As for New York City students and school staff, masks will continue to be required for the nation's largest school district. That mask mandate will likely remain in place until March 7.
