Dear Democrats,
Tomorrow (10/26 at 1:30 PM) the School Board of Broward County is being asked to rescind their mask mandate and lift quarantine guidelines to leave the decision to mask and quarantine up to parental choice.
We are heading into the holiday season and we've seen a substantial surge in COVID-19 cases. Children aged 5-12 are close to getting access to the vaccine but this has not yet happened. The CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics have not changed their guidelines and still recommend masking in schools.
Some school board members will be willing to lift these safety policies and we must encourage them to keep expert-based guidelines in place.
**CALL TO ACTION**
What can YOU do to help right now?
1) Please contact the school board and urge them to maintain their mask mandate and quarantine guidelines by emailing them at
[email protected].
You can copy and paste the email below or send your own message:
----------
Dear School Board Members,
I have heard that the Broward County School Board may lift the mask mandate and quarantine requirements for our students and teachers. I am extremely concerned about this possibility and I urge you to keep these policies in place.
We all want our children and school staff to be safe, and the policies you have in place are backed by scientific experts and the CDC. If these safety measures are lifted, our schools will be more dangerous for everyone.
Please do not give in to political pressure to lift these policies early when children will be able to get vaccinated so soon.
Thank you.

2) You can also submit public comment virtually by emailing
[email protected] by 8:30 AM. Make sure to include your full name and address in the email.

Thank you so much for everything you do!
