This page formerly catalogued public petition signers who opposed making masks optional for students in Central Bucks School District. Now that the issue is resolved in favor of restoring choice to the parents and masks will be fully optional as of June 7, 2021, this page has been repurposed in recognition of the people who did the right thing, stood against the hysteria, and made the rational decision to end mandatory masks.
