The big policy up for question is the requirement of facemasks for students.
Now, the state is giving the power to school districts themselves to make the decision.
After a year of masks in school, Kingsley Superintendent Dr. Keith Smith says he’s looking forward to easing COVID protocols.
“This summer when you’re looking at the positivity rates and how things are going-if we were to open tomorrow we would open up as masks optional, that would be personal choice to be able to do,” said Dr. Smith.
Smith says they are looking back at their contact tracing from last year along with local health department positivity rates.
