System CEO Monica Goldson announced the policy change in a newsletter to parents Monday evening, at the end of the first day of school.
Other school systems in Maryland elected to drop mask mandates last school year, but Prince George’s kept a requirement in place until the county reached over an 80 percent vaccination rate for the coronavirus.
Of the policy shift announced Monday, Goldson said families have varied on whether children should wear masks in schools. Some children who are learning English have struggled to keep up in classrooms because the masks prevent them from seeing their instructors’ mouths form words. Some teachers have indicated that they will continue to wear masks even after the policy shift, especially if they see a large number of students through the day, Goldson said.
Regardless, Goldson said, “we’re not going to put any pressure on anyone who wants to keep their mask on.”
