The largest school district in Kansas discussed changes to its current COVID-19 protocol during its meeting Monday.
In a 4-3 vote, the USD 259 Board of Education approved to "strongly recommend" mask use for all students and employees in the district, regardless of their vaccination status. Masks will be required for all visitors entering any USD 259 buildings.
The district will continue to monitor WPS data and public health requirements. Data will be COVID infections, numbers and possible exposures. Changes and concerns will come back to the BOE for discussion and potential action.
