Which schools in the ATL are requiring masks? (Buckhead: neighborhood, private school)

[arjay57]

Are the private and public schools on the same page?

No. My kid goes to a private school where the principal effectively said if you don't want to follow mandatory masks on campus, they'll help you with your options. LOL.

So are most privates are going along with the mask thing?

Wonder what's happening with the publics around town? I heard that statewide about 55% of public schools are doing masks.

yes at Lovett and the other Buckhead schools as far as I know.

Yep, the privates will happily send your child's transcripts to the neighborhood public school. The heads of schools of all the Buckhead privates (and beyond) meet weekly to literally get on the same page about things like school calendars and Covid policies. I know a couple have parents connected to the CDC who sit on school advisory boards to help them come up with protocols. My daughter's school is testing all 1,000 students preK-12 over the next couple of weeks, and after that will randomly test students, faculty and staff every week.

When my daughter sees news coverage of parents shouting at these school board meetings, she doesn't get it because the kids at her school don't have a problem. The lower school kids think they're ninjas, and the middle and upper school students have turned them into fashion accessories. Because of 100% compliance and other protocols, the school never had to shut down entire grades or even a class pod last year.

Sounds like the privates may be more stringent on the mask thing than the publics.

I assume there's no hollering about masks among the parents at the privates?

After paying $30K in tuition, you'd think there would be more of an uproar for certain parents, and I know it was rocky in the beginning at Lovett after The New Yorker had an extensive article that outlined how gatherings like graduation parties contributed to an outbreak and that parents didn't want to comply. I think that attitude has changed 180 degrees.

Now, on the other hand, bring up CRT at a school like Westminster, then you're going to have a fight.

Wow! Wheels within wheels.
