Kansas City, Kansas schools to require mask-wearing amid renewed COVID-19 concerns Bill Lukitsch, The Kansas City Star
Jul. 21 Amid growing regional concerns about COVID-19 resurgence, the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools Board of Education has adopted a back-to-school plan requiring all students to wear face masks except for those with health exemptions.
School board members approved the fresh guidelines Tuesday night. The measure comes as area public health officials are concerned about the growing number of new cases resulting from the COVID-19 delta variant, which is spreading through parts of Missouri and beyond especially in areas where vaccination rates are low.
