A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to reporting on criteria for mask mandates in schools within the city school district upon the implementation of such a mandate and monthly thereafter for the duration of such a mandate

This bill would require the Department of Education to issue monthly reports on the implementation of mask mandates for the duration of such a mandates, regarding the criteria used to determine whether to implement or maintain the mask mandate. The reports will contain justification for such criteria and note whether mental health repercussions for students are on the list of criteria. If the list of criteria omits mental health factors, the report will be required to justify that omission.
