During an emergency meeting this afternoon, the School Board voted 5-2 to recognize a law that expires on August 1, requiring schools to provide in-person instruction (something Stafford has done since early August 2021) and adhere to CDC recommendations, which include wearing face masks to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Students eating or drinking, playing an instrument, on playground equipment, those with trouble breathing, or with a religious exemption don’t have to wear them, the School Board decided.
