TROY, Texas — Troy ISD students, staff and visitors will not be required to wear face coverings starting May 18, the school district announced Tuesday.
The decision was made by the school board, who voted on the policy change May 17, according to the district.
Parents and guardians may still require their students to wear a mask.
"We appreciate the cooperation from everyone this year in taking precautions to protect our students, our families and our staff," Superintendent Neil Jeter said. "I believe these efforts helped the district reach the point where masks and face coverings can be optional."
