“While mask wearing alone is
not a singularly effective strat-
egy, Kentucky schools have
already proven last spring that
a layered mitigation approach
led to returning our students
to in-person learning, and kept
them there,” said KBE Chair Lu
S. Young.
In an interview after the meet-
ing, Glass added, “We need to
take the steps necessary to get
this virus behind us, which in-
cludes the COVID-19 mitigation
measures that we have proven
effective in Kentucky’s schools.
Masking is part of that effort”
According to the KBE regu-
lation, everyone inside a public
school facility must wear a face
covering over their nose and
mouth while students are pres—
ent in the facility.
Children under the age of 2,
and any person with a disabil-
ity or physical or mental impair-
ment that prevents them from
safely wearing a face covering,
are exempt from the regulation.
’Ihere also are some additional
groups and circumstances ex-
empt from the mask require-
ment under the regulation.
To support the need for the
emergency regulation, Robin
Kinney, associate commission-
er in KDE’s Office of Finance
and Operations, cited evidence
showing the alarming rise in
COVID—19 diagnoses and hospi-
talization among children.
On Aug. 9, the Kentucky CO-
VID report indicated 269 new
cases were reported in a single
day for those age 18 and young-
Kentucky Board of Education annroves emergency mask
regulation [0 mitigate ("NIB-19 snreatl III schools
er, representing 20.1% of the to
tal new cases on that single day.
Similar counts were reported in
the days following.
Children under 12 are not yet
eligible to be vaccinated. .
“This is a very busy time as
we kick off the new school year
in Kentucky,” Kinney said. She
noted news reports from states
across the country, which were
provided to the board, where
school started without/universal
masking requirements and dis-
tricts had to quarantine staff and
students.
The US. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
has recommended all stu-
dents and staff wear a mask in
schools. Glass had said earlier
in the week that KDE’s guid-
ance is “based on science and
upon recommendations from
public health organizations.”
Glass also said “there are cer-
tainly competing values that we
are all weighing in making these
decisions. Our values must be
around keeping students and
communities safe while priori-
tizing in—person learning.”
The Local Superintendents
Advisory Council (LSAC) met
prior to the KBE meeting and
voted to recommend that the
board table the regulation, and
encouraged the KDE to work
with DPH to develop local met-
rics for school districts instead.
The board took the LSAC‘s
recommendation under ad-
visement, however, given the
statewide impact of the virus,
decided to move forward with

“There’s no local anymore,”
said KBE member Claire Batt.
“We are too interconnected. We
travel, we go to the next town
and therefore we transmit this
virus between our communi-
ties.”
Several KBE members, in-
cluding Young and Batt, said
they appreciated the many corn- .
munity members who called or
wrote emails expressing their
opinions on the emergency
regulation.
“1 wantto thank all the parents
who have written and expressed
their thoughts,” said Batt. “I re-
ally appreciate that you are an
advocate for your child, but I do
urge you to consider the impor-
tance of this act in keeping your
child safe.”
Glass shared his appreciation
for the board’s decision-making
amid the many different opin-
ions on mask mandates.
“I am sensitive to and under-
stand that there are many differ—
ent perspectives and opinions
on the question ,that’s before
you,” said Glass. “In our recom-
mendation to you, the values
that we put forth are based on
the health and safety of our
students and their educational
experience.”
