The Danbury Board of Ed will likely make a decision on masks in schools when they meet on March 23rd. Superintendent Kevin Walston has asked the Policy Committee to meet on March 16th to make a recommendation in time for the Board's next full meeting. The Policy Committee meeting tentatively has been scheduled as a virtual meeting via zoom at 6:30pm on the 16th. Between now and then, Walston says the administration will review the recently released state guidance, re-evaluate spacing and ventilation in classrooms, and look at considerations for students with underlying health conditions. Board chairwoman Rachel Chaleski noted that a pediatrician recently weighed in and noted that the final second dose pediatric vaccine clinic is scheduled for March 8th, so kids t to 11 years old would be fully vaccinated by March 22nd.
