On December 22, 2020, Superintendent Holly Ferguson, with the knowledge that she was being recorded, promised in a meeting with a PISD parent that the moment her hands were no longer tied by Executive Order No. GA-29 (the state mask mandate), she would allow facial coverings to be optional within the district. She assured him, “The minute we can get out [of masking kids], I’m out… the minute we can get there, I will get us there. I promise. You have my word.”
That moment came on March 2, 2021 when Governor Abbott lifted the mask mandate statewide. Yet Holly Ferguson did not keep her word and our students in grades 4-12 continue to be forced to wear facial coverings on school grounds.
Communication from the district on March 5, 2021 stated “As employees have more opportunities to access the vaccine, PISD may allow adjustments to plans for end-of-year activities.” Educators in Texas have been eligible to receive the vaccine since March 3, 2021. All teachers who desire to receive this vaccine have had ample opportunity to receive both injections at this point in time. There is no reason to mandate the masking of our children now.
Over 90 school districts in Texas have followed our Governor’s lead and made masks optional for both their staff and students. Please join us in petitioning Prosper Independent School District to remove the mandated masking of our children - and return the freedom to choose to mask children to the parents, where the decision rightly belongs.

PISD should not have the right to do this. My kids tell me daily that there are teachers that DO NOT wear their masks in class but the kids get yelled at to put them on. So disgusting for this to happen at Reynolds Middle school .
Dr. Ferguson, keep your promise and let parents and children decide. My high schooler says masks are depressing and the kids need to see facial expressions, especially smiles.
It’s ridiculous that our kids are still being forced to wear masks. Show us that you actually have some integrity, Dr Ferguson and honor the promise you made to parents!
Please allow our children to choose to wear a mask or not. If they are effective, as claimed at a recent school board meeting, then the ones wearing them should have no problem with the ones not wearing them. Either the masks work or they don’t. Please allow our children to breathe unhindered by a mask. Appreciate your time.
My son has sensory issues and cannot wear anything on his face. This is the main reason we are having to homeschool. He misses the socialization of the school environment. Unmask our kids!!
Masks should be a choice, not a requirement!
Masks are doing more damage than help.

Let parents choose what’s best for their kids! Our children shouldn’t be subjected to the anti-science political games. Masks are doing nothing to make anyone safer. Several schools in the area have already made masks optional for students and staff including MCA and PCA. I urge you to follow their lead.
