State guidelines require a minimum of 3 feet of physical distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, except during lunches, where students must be kept 6 feet apart to allow them to take masks off to eat.

The project was the brainchild of police Lt. William Schlieman and his sister-in-law, third-grade Downey School teacher AnnaLee Weatherbee.

The full school committee unanimously voted later Tuesday evening to adopt the subcommittee s recommendation.
