What was said
"COVID was a difficult timeline to be a principal over because more than ever I was getting updates in real time. So I would watch on the news from the school building the governor's updates on mask, no mask. This is what's happening in schools. Schools weren't given any bigger heads up than everyone watching the same news broadcast."
Mandy Davis, who says she was a school principal during Covid, describes learning about policy shifts such as masking at the same time as the public, by watching the governor’s announcements on television. She frames it as an example of how school leaders had limited control and little advance notice during pandemic-era changes.
