Bethel Schools Superintendent’s Message About New Guidance from DPH Regarding Individuals Who are Vaccinated, Not Vaccinated, and Mask Policy

Report by Paula Antolini, June 21, 2021, 2:47PM EDT

In a letter to Parents and Guardians, Dr. Christine Carver, Bethel Superintendent of Schools, wrote in part, “…the indoor mask policy is not in the control of the district. The Governor’s Executive Order, 12A stipulates that schools (inside only) are required to wear masks. From the Executive Order, the Department of Public Health reissued the requirements for schools (and other sectors). That mandate was also reinforced by the Connecticut State Department of Education in a more recent memo. Some parents have asked who they can contact at the State level to be able to express concerns on the topic. Here are some contact emails:

Charlene Russell-Tucker, Commissioner of Education, [email protected]
Deidre Gifford, Commissioner of Public Health, [email protected]

COVID-19 Reminders

As you may know, there was new guidance released last week by the Department of Public Health regarding individuals who are vaccinated, not vaccinated, and mask expectations. Masks continue to be required inside school buildings.

Outside, whether individuals are vaccinated or not, masks are not required. However, there are a few exceptions, crowds where there is not adequate spacing and/or if groups of students/staff are in close proximity for a prolonged period of time. But generally speaking students and staff who are working with their class outside (maintaining distance), at recess, and/or when participating in PE (outside), do not need to wear masks. For the most part, this has already been existing practice for “mask breaks”. Masks should be put on prior to re-entering/entering the school building.

I hope this new guidance provides additional clarification. Should you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact your child’s school nurse for guidance.
