Share LEWISTON In close votes Monday night, the School Committee rejected a motion to require masks in schools and approved a motion that makes mask-wearing optional. The approval came after nearly two and half hours of debate on Superintendent Jake Langlais’ back-to-school recommendations for the fall.
