JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As the 2020-2021 academic year nears its end, school districts across Northeast Florida are looking ahead to the next one and wondering what, if any, COVID-19 safety protocols will still be necessary come August.
In Duval County, the school district launched a public survey to garner responses from stakeholders on the future of masks, desk barriers and sanitation protocols in schools.
News4Jax readers had a variety of responses with some in favor of continuing strict safety protocols until herd immunity from COVID-19 is reached, and other firmly opposed to any more district-imposed pandemic rules.
