Some parents in favor of no masks on school playgrounds May 6, 2021 at 4:01 PM EDT - Updated May 6 at 4:01 PM The Palm Beach County School Board has agreed to reopen school playgrounds and allow kids to take their masks off while playing outdoors. But students still need to mask up inside classrooms, which has many parents planning to protest. Meredith Charley and her 5-year-old daughter Amelia spent Thursday counting and learning. Amelia has been at home since the pandemic began. "She is highly sensitive particularly in her mouth area. So wearing a mask, to say it's challenging, is an understatement," Charley said.
