By Stephanie Stahl, CBS Philadelphia March 10, 2022 Masks are no longer required in Philadelphia schools. The city's last mask mandate ended on Wednesday but some students still wore masks at this CAPA dance class on the first day they're optional in city schools. "I still choose to wear my mask because I have an elderly grandmom and I don't want to put her at risk," student Tatyana Boyd said. Most students at this high school for performing arts are happy Philadelphia's school mask mandate has been lifted.
