Public returns to school board for more mask debate

Punxsutawney, Pa
Members of the public returned to the Punxsutawney school board on Tuesday to address Gov. Tom Wolf’s mask mandate, after previously criticizing the board at Thursday’s meeting.

Cindy Depp-Hutchinson, school board president, following an executive session, opened up public comments.

Julie Roberts said, “Our children spent this beautiful 80-degree day in a hot classroom with no air conditioning, wearing a mask over their nose and mouth all day. They need 50 percent more oxygen to grow, think and learn; considering there’s a 99 percent recovery rate with this virus, making children wear masks for most of their waking hours is abusive.”

It was once again a full house at Tuesday's Punxsutawney school board meeting, as residents came to discuss the district's response to the statewide mask mandate.
