NYSUT COVID-19 Update (as of 2/10/2022)
TO: NYSUT Board of Directors, NYSUT Local Presidents FROM: NYSUT Officers DATE: February 10, 2022 SUBJECT: NYSUT Alert – February 10, 2022 – Update from NYSUT Masks & Schools: Q & A When does the mask mandate for schools expire? The State mask mandates for both schools and the general public were adopted pursuant to temporary regulation. The Commissioner of Health set an expiration date of February 10, 2022, for the public mask mandate. There was no such date expressed by the Commissioner for the school mandate, but because a temporary regulation only has a life of 90 days, it is set to expire by operation of law on February 21. Another regulation would need to be adopted to extend it. If there is no State mandate, can schools mandate masks for students and visitors? If there is no State mandate, can schools mandate masks for employees? Can anyone other than the State adopt a mask mandate applicable to schools?
Can a mask mandate be negotiated?
Thank you. |
