News 12's Rich Barrabi was joined by Mount Olive Township School District Superintendent Dr. Robert R. Zywicki to discuss changes in mask mandates for schools. Zywicki explained how his school district is preparing should the mask mandate be removed.
How challenging has it been? Does it continue to be to make sure the lines of communication are open with parents?
When the mask mandate is lifted, how is it going to change the in-class classroom experience?
Do you have some concern there are teachers who may be pro-mask or very against mask who won't be happy with the classroom that is mixed one way or the other?
Are you concerned this becomes a focal point for bullying?
While students will be allowed to unmask, if the parents choose, will the school continue to send out notifications in regard to positive COVID rates in the schools?
