Sublette County school board receives pushback on mask vote
April 22, 2021
PINEDALE Community members spoke out at its April meeting against the Sublette County School District No. 1 Board of Trustees’ March 11 vote to defy state public health orders mandating masks in schools when social distancing is not possible.
The trustees voted 4-2 to pass a motion in March eliminating school SMART Start Plans and replacing them with the minimum guidelines set out by the state.
The motion made an exception for public health orders on masks in schools and lifted those requirements for students and staff in the district.
4:20 In 2020, Governor Mark Gordon asked school districts across Wyoming to start considering what a 10 percent funding cut would look like. And even more recently lawmakers are suggesting cuts around 6.5 percent.
With the budget season approaching, schools are trying to decide what they can and can t live without.
Jay Harnack, superintendent of Sublette County School District #1, said the district s finance committee has been thinking about all the options. I think they just sort of sit down and try to come up with a balanced approach that would be as much as possible not impact the classroom. And I think that s what the proposed budget reduction plan reflects, he said.
