This week on Flashpoint, Ben Thompson talks to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools board member and teacher after the district voted to make masks optional.
In a new release, the school system said the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services StrongSchools Toolkit was updated to coincide with the CDC guidance that states masks are no longer required on buses or vans operated by public or private schools. CMS Board Member Rhonda Cheek speaks about the mask mandate being dropped starting Monday and her thinking it should have been dropped sooner. Later we hear from teacher Justin Parmenter, who expressed that some teachers aren't happy about the mandate being dropped.
All of this and more on Flashpoint, on WCNC Charlotte.
