Cassville families speak to school board asking to reconsider plan
Three patrons of the Cassville school district spoke Thursday at the school boards monthly meeting, asking board members to reconsider the districts month-old masking mandate for students.
Amanda Tucker, parent of two girls at the district was the first to speak. She said Middle School Principal Jimmie Barton said it was none of the parents concern on the masking issue from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., because the school is in charge of the kids. Tucker said one of her daughters was sent home for not wearing a mask, then she returned the following day with a doctors not saying the child could not mask but could wear a face shield, which is provided by the school.
