Many of you have seen an email from Mike Claire noting that he is recommending a change to District masking requirements. The policy he is recommending would make indoor masking optional when San Mateo County is in the yellow or green CDC Community Level, and required when the County is in the red level. Claire’s email includes a link to a District survey about the potential change. The Board of Trustees will be discussing his recommendation at their meeting this coming Wednesday, 5/25, at 6 p.m.

AFT is conducting a separate survey to gather faculty feedback on the changes proposed by Chancellor Claire, as well as various potential masking policies. We plan to present an overview of the feedback as well as reading particular comments (with your consent) at the 5/25 Board meeting. You can take the survey at https://bit.ly/AFTmasksurvey. Please complete the survey by this Tuesday, 5/24, at 11:59 p.m. You have the option to take the survey anonymously or to have your name attached to your comments.
