Starting Feb. 28, wearing a mask will become optional for students and staff within the Anchorage School District:
Since December, COVID-19 cases in the municipality and school district had risen sharply during the omicron wave before starting to decline in recent weeks.
At one point in late January, the district had 1,184 active virus cases, but by Friday, the district’s dashboard showed 93 active cases. Multiple states nationwide have also opted to lift mask mandates for schools, though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends universal indoor masking within schools.
While the mask requirement is dropping, the school district will keep PCR testing in the schools as well as cleaning, ventilation and spacing protocols, Bishop said. “We haven’t just carte blanche said, ‘Everything’s over, we don’t care about anything,’ ” Bishop said. “What we have done has really taken the availability of stair-stepping down the strongest mitigation to those that are most appropriate.”Morgan Krakow is a general assignment reporter for the Anchorage Daily News.
