Dickson Co. Schools end bus mask mandate, indoors still required
View Comments
Students are no longer required to wear masks on Dickson County Schools buses following a county school board vote Thursday.
The board made the decision at a special meeting called after Gov. Bill Lee’s recent announcement the state would reduce COVID-19 mandates and move toward reopening.
Students can still wear masks on the bus if they choose.
The board voted to keep the current school district guidelines for inside school facilities, which require students to wear masks if they are not at least three feet apart.
“I would like to see us leave the indoor policy we have remain in place for the remainder of the school year,” said board member Patricia Hudson. “It has proven to be helpful.”
