DISCUSSION

Mask Mandate – Rarden moved, seconded by Huelskamp to adopt the following revised mask mandate:

Effective 04/15/21 masks will be optional for staff and students for the remainder of the school year in the building and on district transportation for all students and staff with some parameters.

  • Students and staff will follow rules and regulations relative to places they are visiting.
  • If at any time a positive COVID case occurs within our school population (staff and students), the district will return to the original mandatory mask policy.
  • This change in the mask mandate is only effective for USD 225 and does not supersede other districts' mask policies, league rules, or KSHSAA requirements.

Mask Restrictions – A motion was made to set restrictions on the newly revised mask mandate allowing faculty to require masks in their classrooms. Heinz made the motion, no second. Motion failed.

 

Adjournment:  A motion was made by Milford, seconded by Heinz to adjourn the meeting.  Motion carried 5-0.  Time: 12:20 p.m.
