SACRAMENTO, CA – Today Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) released the following statement in response to Governor Newsom’s announcement that the statewide school mask mandate will continue until March 12, 2022:
“There is absolutely no basis for continuing the statewide school mask mandate another day. That’s why almost every other state has moved on. Rather than finally acknowledge evidence and common sense, the Governor has chosen to give California kids another two weeks of pointless misery.
“This is the same Governor who kept schools closed longer than any state in the country. It’s the same Governor who tried to stop students from enrolling in high-performing charter schools soon after COVID began. Young people in California will pay a lasting price for Gavin Newsom’s indecent school policies.
“It’s no wonder that dozens of school districts across the state have completely tuned the Governor out. They are doing what is right for their kids.
“The Governor is also refusing to give up his emergency powers and continuing the State of Emergency in violation of the plain text of the Emergency Services Act. The Legislature must act to stop this lawlessness, end the emergency, and let the people of California move on with their lives.”
While California students wait until March 12, one day ago Gov. Kathy Hochel of New York announced that students would no longer need to mask starting Wednesday, March 2.
Assemblyman Kevin Kiley represents the 6th Assembly District, which includes the Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado County communities of Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Loomis, Orangevale, Penryn, Rocklin, Roseville, and Sheridan.
