The board of education at Blanchester Public Schools in southern Clinton County voted Monday night to relax requirements for mask wearing both inside and outside school buildings, according to our news partners at WCPO-TV in Cincinnati.
Blanchester’s board voted to immediately allow students and staff members to remove masks while outdoors and on buses when a window is open. Staring June 1, the district will also allow for students and staff to remove masks while inside, the station reports.
The decision by the district’s board is a direct contradiction to current Ohio Department of Health requirements for masking in educational settings. Currently, ODH requires students to wear masks in and outside during school functions with some exceptions like eating and drinking or participating in sports.
