Masks will be optional for Palm Beach County students next school year May 13, 2021 at 4:11 PM EDT - Updated May 13 at 6:06 PM
Face masks will be optional for Palm Beach County students next school year, Superintendent Dr. Donald Fennoy announced on Thursday.
In a letter to students, parents, guardians, and school district staff members, Fennoy said he made the decision because of the downward trend in the positivity rate in Palm Beach County, the increasing availability of the COVID-19 vaccine for adults and children, as well as a recommendation from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to end mask mandates in schools.
Fennoy said facial coverings will be mandatory on school campuses and buses for the remainder of the current school year, which ends on June 18. In addition, masks will be mandatory during next month s high school graduation ceremonies, as well as during Summer School.
