CRANFORD, NJ — With Cranford Public Schools transitioning to a “mask optional” policy beginning March 7, Patch asked readers whether they will allow their children to go maskless. Several Cranford parents responded.
Superintendent Dr. Scott Rubin announced last week that Cranford Schools will no longer require masks as of March 7. Based on the comments from a Facebook poll, the majority of readers told Patch they will allow their kids to attend school without a mask as of March 7.
See the Facebook post here.
Rubin’s announcement was made after Gov. Phil Murphy said the state mask mandate in public schools will be lifted and individual districts can decide whether they will keep the mandate or not.
Cranford’s Board of Education said last week that the remaining board meetings in February would require audience members to wear masks. Read more here.
Here are some of the responses Patch received on Facebook:
“I would have in September 2020. So 100000% yes now.” — Julia Ellen
“I literally can’t wait for the day that she can go to school without a mask on.” — Marny Torrigiani
“Raise your children as you see fit. My kids would NOT be wearing them.” — Alberta Lanz Fraser

“I will throw these suckers away so fast to never be looked at again.” — Dave Gaetano
“Yes. Should have been a choice for a while now. The inconsistencies of this policy have been ridiculous. Theater kids are masked on stage performing but wrestlers and basketball players don’t have to mask. Masked in school socially distancing but then Friday night they’re on top of one another unmasked in the Cougar den at a football game. Makes no sense.” — Chrissy Bradley
“10000000000%. Wouldn’t have sent them in one in September if I had a choice. It is now a choice, which it should be. You can now make the decision that you feel is best for your children and if you feel masks work and that’s the issue here, then you can continue to mask your children and all should be content.” — Megan Scanielo
“If cases stay low, I think I will let my vaxxed kid take it off. I wanted him in a mask when cases were high in dec/Jan.” — Ali Holstein
