Denver Public Schools requires masks for all students, teachers, and staff
MGN
DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) Denver Public Schools is requiring masks for all students, staff, and teachers, regardless of vaccination status.
This comes after Denver Mayor Michael Hancock announced all city employees and private-sector workers in high-risk settings are required to be fully vaccinated by September 30.
That requirement includes teachers, school staff, and all child care workers.
In combination with the city’s health order requiring vaccines for all school staff, this masking requirement provides a strong safeguard to help ensure a full year of in-person learning and support for our scholars. These strong health procedures will also help improve conditions, which would allow us to relax restrictions in our schools. But for now, we believe this mask requirement for all students and staff is the right thing to do for the health and safety of our community.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is recommending that students and staff wear masks in schools, but has stopped short of requiring them to do so.
The governor also ordered Monday that state workers must wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status amid a rise in infections with the delta variant of the coronavirus.
Beshear warns that workers “face a much higher likelihood that they get COVID and they get really sick” if they don’t use masks.
Sixty-two percent of Kentucky residents ages 18 and older have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. But only 37% of those 18 to 29 have received at least one dose, while 83% of residents 65 and older have.
