But school district will follow public health rules
ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette
The East Allen County Schools board formalized Tuesday its desire for a mask-optional policy next academic year, should conditions be right.
The resolution, which passed 6-1, also recognizes the possibility of a mask mandate ordered by the governor or health officials. In that instance, EACS will require universal and correct wearing of masks in accordance with the most current Centers of Disease Control and Prevention guidelines as well as guidance from the Allen County and Indiana departments of health, said Superintendent Marilyn Hissong, who read the resolution in its entirety.
