SC school masks no longer required


May 12, 2021, 8:29 AM

Per executive order from McMaster

Curious to hear if your kids schools are unmasked in large portions

The school districts are refusing to comply so far.

I've seen several press releases of districts already stating they would comply. Near me, Berkeley County School District said they intend to comply.

The plan was to wear masks to the end of the year then provide a form for parents to opt-out of masks for next school year.

Apparently that didn't give McMaster enough clout to overshadow Florida's Governor

I wonder why school districts would hold fast right now? Could it be they are consulting legal council and DHEC to figure out what to do?

We have 20 days left in the school year.

It's going to take at least half of that to figure out a path forward IF a government agency actually hurries on something. Then another 3 days to draft the forms needed for them not to get sued. Then we are out for summer anyways.

So many districts are just waiting to see

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Our district sent out a message that if you send your kids


May 12, 2021, 10:30 AM [ in reply to You really need some more education. Or at least a course on ]

today without a mask, they must have a note from the parent authorizing that, since DHEC has no forms, and it was evidently dropped out of nowhere on the districts.

I'm fine with it for our kids, since they're in elementary school. But regardless of your position on masks in schools, the way the governor did this is absolutely amateur-hour stuff. Only 20 days left in the school year? No warning whatsoever. No plan. Nothing just bewm. Functionally, if nothing else, that's poor leadership.

He made his position clear several weeks ago. He caught a lot of heat for that as well. At that time, he should have been forthcoming and said "Ok, I am going to issue an executive order on May 11th. From that day forward, masks will be optional. Parents must consent, and DHEC will have forms in the schools sent home for parents to sign, if they choose. THAT is how you handle it. But nope, he just did nothing, then issued an EO. Didn't even inform the schools, or even the district leadership. DHEC isn't even on board with the idea.

And then there's the duplicity in the other part of the order, and honestly it's the worst part of it. He previously stated he didn't have the power or the authority to issue mask mandates, and that was a power reserved to local towns, municipalities, and counties. Which is why he issued no mask mandates statewide. Fine, that's a very republican stance, and I can support that. Always defer/dilute power and control, never centralize it. Covid loves that stance, but localities stepped up to the task. Darn near every local entity in the state did however, since he didn't. NOW, he says counties, cities, towns, and school districts have no authority to issue mask mandates, and only the governor has that authority, hence preventing them from enacting them in the future. A total 180. A DeSantis move basically.

Again amateur hour leadership. Regardless of your position on anything.

Sell your rights to local governance to the governor for the "freedom" to choose a mask. And this is why districts are not listening to him or complying. Amateur hour leadership. And if covid gets bad again, municipalities and counties won't listen either. Someone called him milktoast once in here recently. And that's about correct.

And then the duplicity continues. His order in no way prevents counties and local governments from implementing mask policies for their employees, or in their government offices. So government retains a freedom denied to the people and public. It doesn't apply to the judicial branch either. Local courts can make their own rules, just not town councils on behalf of their constituents. Oh, and hospitals are still free to require masks as well. Yep.

Oh, but at least the school districts still have the right to control which vaccines are REQUIRED to attend public schools in their districts. Boy won't the #### hit the fan when they add the covid vaccine to that list. That will be a future executive order I'm sure.

Oh, and here it is fwiw.

Why not wait 3 more weeks and remove the mandates for next year? That gives schools 2 months to prepare.

But his republican mouth breathers will eat this up and send him tons of money for his reelection campaign because MASKS ARE AGAINST MY 32ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

The districts aren't "refusing to comply". McMaster dropped a bomb on them when they weren't ready, and now they're scrambling to make sure their legal ##### are covered. Because if they rush into it and someone gets sick, parents ain't suing McMaster. They're suing the district.

So they're complying but trying to make sure they have their #### together. He should have given all the districts a heads up so they could be ready to roll out the next day.

He essentially said, "Hey, all masks are optional now. Get parents to sign a waiver. Figure out the logistics and do it immediately. Don't care how, just do it."

#### don't work like that.

Everybody may be covered when it gets to court, but you still have to pay all of those lawyers until it gets laughed out of court.

A large district may not have a problem with that, but there are a lot of smaller districts who can't afford lawyer fees for 15 lawsuits even if it gets laughed out of court when it gets there

Let me help both of you out. If the Governor makes an executive order under a declaration of emergency, that’s all the legal cover they need.


That sounds sweet in a perfect world, but lawyers know districts make great targets and often settle out of court to avoid worse costs.

Putting any talk of masks aside, maybe we should ask a bigger question: Should a governor have this much authority over local districts and governments? Others here, including you, argued governors shouldn't the power to shut down a whole state.

I had the same reaction....


May 13, 2021, 11:19 AM [ in reply to I'm kinda mixed on this... ]

I dug a little deeper in the EO and it reads that localities and school districts cannot use the gov's emergency declaration any longer to support their mask mandates.

I'm not sure what the regulations are precisely, but it seems to read that local authorities could still have mask mandates, but have to have the basis for the mandate as something other than the state emergency declaration. I'm not sure if that is real distinction or if, for example, the state emergency declaration is the only way a local gov can require masks, therefore making the EO an effective complete ban on mask mandates.

No one that calls themselves a conservative could support the governor banning a rightful act of a local government that should be in the local government's authority. Something like a mask mandate or masks in schools is 100% something that should be decided and administered on the local/district level.

May 13, 2021, 10:20 AM

that masks would no longer be required and then an hour later another from the principal saying a student had tested positive. whee.

step in the right direction........

Any Teacher/parent/grandparent who WANTS the vaccine has had more than enough time and access to get it by now...............any pushback against the idea of unmasking kids to me means you're never going to be ok with it and if that's the case then just stay in your house away from everybody and let others get back to normal.

If you want the vaccine = GET IT
if you don't want the vaccine = DON'T, but don't force the vaccinated to still wear masks
if you got the vaccine but still don't trust it = WHY DID YOU GET IT?
if you got the vaccine just to appease the vaccinators and live maskless = by all means LIVE IT

all i've heard since last MARCH was "when there's a vaccine we can then get back to normal".....well it got here faster than expected......everybody can get it if they want it and THAT was quicker than anticipated.

And the ones saying what you just did

will be the FIRST ones dialing all 7's when they or a family member gets the rona.

This isn't about going back to normal vs. not going back to normal. This is about school districts having time to figure out how to comply without emptying out their litigation budget.

Most school districts were already putting plans in motion to go back to normal next year before Governor Foghorn Leghorn threw gas on the fire (that was about to go out).

Trust me, if there's one constant thing in life, it's a person wanting to sue a school district.

May 12, 2021, 11:46 AM

that's why I said "step in the right direction". It was not directed toward the Districts that don't "drop masks NOW!"..........this is for the "drop mask pushbacks" (ie parents/teachers). I know a few people on legal teams for school district and "getting a plan, crossing Ts, dotting I's" is what should be done.

Again, my beef is with the blow up of parent/teacher pushback about dropping masks in schools period, not with the legal teams and school districts on the "timeliness" of dropping masks after the Governor's statement.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Mostly what I'm hearing from teachers/parents/admin/etc


May 12, 2021, 12:00 PM

isn't that they are dropping the mask, but the way McMaster is trying to force districts to drop them.

Like I said, this was already in the works with D.O admin working with Spearman, DHEC, and lawyers to ensure that it would be done right, safe, and fair.

Then our glorious Governor throws a wrench in the process. Just like when he said earlier that he wanted mask mandates gone, we had to take time away from actually working on how to go about that to type up CYA documents and field phone calls from anti-mask mouth breathers about why we aren't doing that yet.

In other words, he's wasting a lot of people's time just to score some political points.

my wife is a school nurse and she's heard 6 VACCINATED teachers in her school alone threaten to resign and/or just off the rails about de-masking kids in general b/c they're still afraid of catching COVID. No idea how many vaccinated parents have that same mindset, but I imagine a lot.

I'm not saying I want to keep the masks because I don't


May 12, 2021, 12:18 PM

my point in this thread is that McMaster's EO was stupidly done. At the absolute very least he should have gave districts a heads up so we could have prepared.

My point is this was already happening around the state. I don't know of many districts that planned on keeping masks mandatory next year.

The plan was to keep masks until the end of the year, then work with DHEC and DOE to get whatever legal paperwork for optional masks next year (even Molly sent out emails stating as such).

Then our Governor blew up that plan so he could look good for reelection.

So now when district no longer have mask mandates (which they already weren't) next year, he say strut around saying, see, I did that.

All he did was blow up the plan so he could take credit for what was already about to happen

A true Trumpublican move

0 cases among 22 schools and 18k students?


May 13, 2021, 9:03 AM [ in reply to Hahaha that’s hilarious ]

I'll go with a very solid BS on that. That using quick probability.

I mean, my middle schooler got it. At school. In March. And there was a teacher + 5 other students from the SAME CLASS that also got it.

So that's what 6 out of 30?

Not sure what state you are in, but using SC statistics about 11% of our population got Covid and about half of those have been since January. So let's go with 5% since then.

That math would equate to 900 cases among 18,000.

May 13, 2021, 10:27 AM [ in reply to Hahaha that’s hilarious ]

This is the governor's decision and he rushed into it without warning school districts. As you just stated, people are threatening to sue the district for someone else's call.

People aren't rational. Lawyers know districts are easy prey. They'll get sued for #### they didn't do.

That's why some sort of heads up should have happened.

to not wear a mask you simply have to receive a paper and let your parents sign it. Alot of kids that attend the same Highschool as me don't wear them since its optional now.

no students would have them below their noses, and depending on the teacher no masks at all inside the classroom, but it was required that you had to wear it in the hallways and going to lunch if not eating. for me it was only hard to wear my mask coming from gym because it was hot and hard to breathe, but other than that IMO it isn't hard to wear a mask.

also to answer your other question I don't think it'll have a negative impact, but I think more people will be more judgemental because some students choose not to wear masks anymore. I think I fit in more of the judgemental group because I just dont have a problem wearing a mask in school, but I get it theres only 10 more school days left, and its a low chance students get covid.
