A new poll question about whether readers support mask requirements in schools is available to be used by WNA members. As students and teachers across the state are preparing to return for the fall semester, we are asking the question in light of recent recommendations that masks be required in schools this fall.
The CDC earlier this month recommended masks for all students, teachers and staff in schools this fall, and in Wisconsin, the Department of Public Instruction has done the same. Many school districts in Wisconsin have chosen to require masks, while others have made them optional.
Results from our previous poll question regarding concerns over the Delta variant of COVID-19 are available at the link below.
WNA members who have signed up for an account with Polco can access their local version of the new question, as well as local poll results, on their dashboards.
To find the question under “Recommended Content,” go to https://polco.us/n/admin and log in under the email you used to sign up for your Polco account.
Those who have not signed up can do so here for their own dashboard.
