The statewide mask mandate is set to end Feb. 28, but these parents are concerned the state Department of Education could change that date or bring mandates back in the future.
Lawmakers in the state House voted Thursday to extend Gov. Ned Lamont's COVID-19 orders to Feb. 28. Parents say they won't take further mandates sitting down.
After Feb. 28, individual school and health districts will choose whether to require masks in schools or not.
