The Andover Board of Education met Tuesday night and voted to implement a mask mandate, but only for elementary schools.

The decision to not require masks in middle and high school was met with cheers many of the parents who attended the meeting.  Over 150 parents attended the meeting, many with opposing views about the masks.


Andover Superintendent Brett White said that his main goal is to make sure students stay in school, and that a major outbreak doesn't shut them down. He added that data shows elementary students are at the highest risk in schools.

The mask mandate for elementary students begins this Friday, and will last until October 12, when the board will reassess the mandate.
