At Las Positas Elementary School in Livermore, some students will experience a day of learning without a mask for the first time in their learning career.
The Livermore Valley School District announced mask mandates would move from a requirement to a strong recommendation.A San Francisco doctor who represents a local chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics supports the move.
Dr. Yasuko Fukuda said the community should still consider other protocols to continue keeping the spread of virus at a minimum. "We know that immunizations keep you safe," she said. "Don't go to school if you are sick, so that everyone is respectful of keeping your community safe so that kids can be in school." Students at Oakland Unified School District will still need to wear masks on campus for at least another month.
