Students at one North Bay high school said they were forced to continue class in the cold Thursday morning after trying to enter a classroom without a mask.
Thursday was a continuation of the protest.
The fact that the teacher kicked students out into the cold angered parents, who say it was inhumane.“We know it may have caused some discomfort that students couldn’t stay in the classroom. It was our response in the moment to continue to provide access to education," said Dr. Rosanna Mucetti, superintendent of the Napa Valley Unified School District.
It’s not just Napa. Frustration over masks in schools is also spreading to Liberty High School in Brentwood. “I know a lot of us are getting fed up with wearing it all the time,” said Kaili Johnson, Liberty High School senior. Liberty Union High School District may defy Gov. Gavin Newsom's school mask mandate and leave that choice up to the children. They have set a meeting for next Monday to talk about it.Right now, it appears some students and school districts in the Bay Area may not wait for the green light.
