Good morning,
Will your agenda on 2/8 include consideration of dropping the mask mandate early? I noticed in last week’s
meeting a couple aldermen speaking about their desire to revisit this in 14 days.
I urge you to drop the mandate early. While masking in schools is a separate issue I do hope you realize that
your mandates DO significantly and negatively impact children in Nashua. For example, as a result of the
current mandate, public schools and local gyms/sports facilities where my boys play basketball and baseball (St
Pat’s, Boys and Girls Club, New Balance Training Facility) now require kids to cover their faces WHILE
THEY ARE PLAYING. Public schools modified protocols to require athletes to wear masks while playing
when you imposed the mandate - before the mandate they did not require this. This is cruel, abusive and
unnecessary.
Please, I urge you to remove the mask mandate and protect our children NOW. Their needs and safety must be
elevated and prioritized. Kids have suffered enough. The masking must end.
Thank you,
Tara Canaway
