A storm has stirred up, and the Stafford Township School District is caught in it.

After school nurse Erin Pein was suspended without pay for violating district policy requiring staff to wear face coverings inside the district’s five buildings the previous week, Pein and supporters of her campaign to speak out against the requirement for children and staff to wear them while in school began to raise their voices last week.

Among those supporters are Republican gubernatorial candidates Phil Rizzo and Hirsh Singh.
