Tyler Kuntz, a music teacher at Oxford High School, said he was prepared to serve his two-day unpaid suspension as punishment because he did not agree with the school district's decision to impose aKuntz said the decision was made by Oxford School District Superintendent Bradley Roberson without discussion from the board, which represents parents.
"We don't know that masks will or won't work, and if you watch how masks are worn anywhere, especially in schools, I would hardly say they're effective," he said. "But the justification is that the mask will lower the number of quarantine days served by our kids, and that's a good thing. "The problem is the policy the community enacted together already allowed us who received the vaccinated to be there in the school as a student or be there to teach the kids, we were exempt from the quarantine rules from the beginning."
