The Jackson County Reapportionment Committee – three Democrats and three Republicans appointed by County Executive Frank White Jr., a Democrat – approved new maps this week. The votes were unanimous.
The mandate was proposed to run from Feb. 8 to Feb. 17. It would apply to those age 5 through high school, as well as staff and visitors. Religious schools would be exempt.
The administration of County Executive Frank White Jr. recommended the mandate based on rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, but the County Legislature voted 5-4 no.
