Yet members of the New Jersey Legislatures have attempted to impede Governor Murphy's ability to renew the mask mandate, refusing to codify the extension into law. Countless studies have shown the benefits of mask-wearing in schools. In Arizona, schools with no mask requirement were 3.5 times more likely to experience COVID-19 outbreaks. It is essential that our government renews the school mask mandate and upholds other COVID-19 safety procedures to protect the health and well-being of students and staff. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/new-jersey-students-for-school-mask-mandates
