Any school district that can police a dress code policy/hair style policy can manage to handle a face mask policy.

Here in Natick, MA, if numbers stay low we open 9/16 with a hybrid option, masks required K - 12, plus all desks with plexiglass, small pods. Cautiously optimistic!

Here in Ontario we had 33 new cases yesterday, 0 deths. Schools are opening in September as normal, but masks are mandatory from grades 4 and up, and for lower grades are strongly recommend. Schools are providing masks with many other changes. ( 99% ppl here are wearing masks ).

I wish Biden-Harris promised to do that, Day 1, as a first step in muzzling Covid.

Is the mask mandatory or the policy mandatory? If it is the policy it, the policy could be meaningless in terms of substantial use of masks.

On my office Door it is posted to wear a mask upon entering. I informed someone yesterday that masks were required in my office ( they are in Oregon) He argued and I told him I required him to. He stormed out. I don't see many people anymore without masks.
