MERIDIAN, Idaho — Parents in Idaho’s largest school district have come together asking school district leaders to change their mask policy for the upcoming school year.
The group – organized on Facebook – calls itself the West Ada Community for Health and Safety.
The latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends students and teachers wear a face mask indoors regardless of their vaccination status. Despite this, the West Ada School District (WASD) is not going to require masks for the upcoming school year.
