Question: Do you think Fairfield Public Schools should lift the mask mandate? 

54% of those who took the poll felt that the mask mandate, while 46% felt the mandate should remain. The struggle seems to be the reluctance of removing masks in fear of cases worsening against the fact that people no longer want to wear masks. With a near even split, it is clear that the student body is unsure about moving forward with or without masks, especially as masks have become a part of what has been “normal”.

Question: If the mandate is lifted, would you still wear a mask?

63% of those who took the poll said that they would still wear a mask even if the mandate is lifted. While many are done with masks, the majority of people are hesitant to take the mask off, potentially driven by fear of increased cases, personal health, and the health of those around them.

Question: Thoughts on the location of graduation?
