We have all been made aware of the citations that have been issued against FCP regarding the teachers, staff, and students not wearing masks while indoors during the school day. Thus far, the parents' opportunity to speak out on the subject has been somewhat limited. Though our Director and her team have been doing an amazing job fighting for our children to continue to be able to learn, play, and interact uninhibited by masks, FCP continues to receive citation after citation and be subjected to ongoing site visits from the State related to these so-called "violations."

This petition has been started by parents of FCP students of our own volition. This is our opportunity to come together and provide the FCP staff with documentation to substantiate their statement that we are like-minded in our firm opposition of masking our children AND the staff.

This is a statement by the parents, guardians, and caregivers of the students at Foothills Christian Preschool (FCP) in El Cajon, California that we:

1. Oppose any and all requirements for our children, whatever their age, to be masked at FCP; and
2. Oppose any and all requirements for the teachers and staff of FCP to be masked at FCP.

As parents, we likely have varying reasons for insisting that our children not be masked at school, therefore, we have not included specific motivations within this petition. However, please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

NOTE: This petition was not created by or approved by the staff of FCP or the affiliated schools and church.
