Connecticut s Universal Mask Policies in School Buildings Written by State of CT Dept of Ed
The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), in consultation with the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH), issued binding guidance, Adapt, Advance, Achieve: Connecticut’s Plan to Learn and Grow Together (AAA document) requiring all students and staff to wear a face mask when inside a school building, with limited exceptions.
This communication is to confirm that schools must continue to implement those universal masking policies in school buildings. As you probably know, on Thursday, May 13, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made the announcement that fully vaccinated individuals may stop wearing face coverings in certain settings. However, the CDC confirmed shortly thereafter that it recommends schools continue to use the current COVID-19 prevention strategies for the 2020-2021 school year.

Connecticut has been leading the nation in vaccinating its citizens against COVID-19, and was the first state to reach the key milestone of half its adult population vaccinated. Contributing to the success of the state’s effort is a partnership between Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Health (YNHH), which together administered the highest number of vaccines of any vaccination site in the state under a single Provider Identification Number (PIN). Yale’s success prompted a visit from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), whose staff wanted to see just how the Yale team was able to so efficiently vaccinate so many people, a figure that reached 411,000 vaccinations as of May 19.
