Kansas’ largest school district won’t require students and teacher to wear face masks o get a COVID-19 vaccination during the upcoming school year.
The Board of Education for USD-259 on Wednesday reviewed the district’s reopening plan, but took no formal action. The board previously delegated COVID operational decisions to Superintendent Alicia Thompson.
She said that: “Current data and public health recommendations, as well as feedback from stakeholders, lead us to masks being optional for all.”
The mask requirement in district facilities will end July 6.
