Most students in Northeast Ohio are going back to school in the next week or two and right now many districts have made masks optional for this coming school year.
Dozens of North Canton parents turned out to Hoover High School’s board meeting Wednesday evening to push for a mask mandate.
“I’m sorry but I have a wonderful daughter that I don’t want competing for a hospital bed because she has any problem at all,” said parent Laura Hollis.
“We follow as we have in the last 18 months guidance from CDC, Ohio department of health and our stark county health department and we’re doing so now,” said Jeff Wendorf, Superintendent of North Canton City Schools.
As of last week, the CDC is recommending universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status.
“I feel like the tides changing,” said Hollis. “We need to get at the front of this line to protect our kids as opposed to the end.”
One student spoke at the meeting urging the district to do the right thing and protect all the students under 12 who cannot be vaccinated.
