"Students are provided the best opportunity to learn and thrive when learning in person.  We know the best way to safely do this is to get as many people age 12 and older vaccinated.  Given the recent trends in COVID spread due to premature relaxation of prevention strategies by unvaccinated individuals and lagging vaccination rates in some parts of our country, we support the recommendation for masking in K-12 schools.
