School is weeks away from ending for the year, but the mask-wearing controversy continues to stir contention just as strongly as it did eight months ago. As some parents show up to school district meetings and make a push to end the mask mandate in schools, others are expressing concern over a new kind of doctor shopping that they say is happening across the state.
Parents allege that medical professionals are handing out mask exemption notes for students some without ever meeting the child or parent face-to-face.
