Here's an example of some of the confusion surrounding the order: DougCo School District: Mask wearing still required, public health order exemption added | FOX31 KDVR

I ____________________, the parent of ______________________, have made the determination that the wearing of a facial covering results in a net negative impact on the physical and/or mental health of my child and therefore claim an exemption for my child at any requirement to wear a face covering.

Such a statement shall be signed and dated by the individual making the claim to the exemption
