When David Lee addressed the Sahuarita Unified School District Governing Board on Wednesday night, he ended by congratulating the parents who recently protested the mask mandate at Vail Unified School District. A small crowd cheered.
Eleven parents submitted calls to the public and, for the most part, their message was the same: End the mask mandate.
The debate came up at other districts in Pima County last week. On Tuesday, about 100 people showed up in Vail to protest the mask mandate. The VUSD board called sheriffâs deputies and canceled the meeting over safety concerns as some parents pushed their way inside.
