Booneville, Paris schools go without masks
The Paris and Booneville School Boards have lifted mask requirements for their students and staff.
Paris decision came April 8 and mandated that students continue to wear masks until April 16. Following April 16, the decision to wear masks is left to the individual students and staff members, Superintendent Wayne Fawcett said.
Fawcett still recommends that students and staff wear their masks. The school will also still be enforcing most of its social distancing and cleaning policies throughout the rest of the school year.
The school board required an extra week of masks because “we just want to make sure” that numbers stay low, Fawcett said. Fawcett estimated that the district has not had a COVID case for at least the past three weeks.
