We have a teacher that is positive, infectious and is spending hours in a classroom even after exhibiting symptoms. Now that needs to be avoided in the future. Fix that first and foremost.
Where is the evidence that her wearing a mask would have changed the outcomes? The students did wear a mask after all. It either works or it does not. Bringing masking into the picture has the opposite effect - it creates the illusion that it would be fine to show up with symptoms if you have a mask.
Then simulations are bullshit ... you can simulate to generate any and every outcome you want - it all depends on the parameters. Sorry, does not take much to see that, just simply look at everyday observations.
There are plenty of schools with no masking requirement - yet NONE have exhibited anything close to the 91% infection rates (within 30 days!) that the CDC simulations predict.
