Haywood schools lift outside mask mandate
Thursday, May 13, 2021
Students in Haywood County Schools will no longer be required to wear masks outside, where social distancing is possible. Administration made the decision after conferring with local public health officials.
The updated policy no longer requires masks outside during the school day, or during after school activities. Students are still required to wear masks at all times inside school buildings, unless eating or participating in a previously authorized socially distanced exception. Parents will need to notify the schools in writing if they want their children to wear a mask outside when social distancing is possible.
