According to the CDC and Pima County mandates, those who have trouble breathing are exempt from wearing masks. Many students during physical activity (recess/PE) are experiencing trouble breathing, overheating, asthma flareups and other health issues. Also, students are more likely to touch their mask and face because of lack of oxygen, sweat and discomfort, being counterproductive in lowering the spread of germs.

We, the undersigned, are concerned parents/family/friends who urge Coronado K-8 School to act now and implement an “optional “ mask policy during outdoor time where exercise is taking place ( i.e. recess, PE) for students who have trouble breathing.
