Ben Avey released the following statement upon notification that school mask policies would remain in place when general public mask mandates are lifted.
"We have to stop asking more from kids than we ask from adults. COVID-19 doesn’t differentiate between offices and classrooms. Nor does it care if someone is attending the Super Bowl or their high school Prom. Kids deserve equal treatment under public health policies."
Ben Avey is a candidate for San Juan Unified School District Trustee Area 6.
I appreciate Mr. Avery’s opinion on wearing masks and respect for our flag, however this site does not contain any information on philosophy about education, condition of SJUSD facilities, or his priorities for the educational system. Seems to be significant ommissions given the responsibility of a trustee.
