In a statement late Sunday, Salt Lake County Council Chair Laurie Stringham reiterated what her office told FOX 13 on Friday: she will not call a special meeting to vote on whether to override the mask mandate issued by the health department.
The Utah Legislature passed a ban on school districts or the Board of Education requiring face masks in schools during a special session in May. Under the bill, schools and teachers can encourage mask-wearing, but they can t legally mandate it to attend or participate in in-person instruction, athletics or other extracurricular activities during the upcoming school year. Only counties can now implement mask mandates.

Granite School District officials say they are awaiting final guidance on COVID-19 protocols from local and state health departments before deciding on health guidelines. Regardless, we highly encourage mask-wearing in our schools in accordance with CDC guidance. Additionally, Granite continues to share information on vaccination opportunities, and we anticipate hosting additional vaccine clinics for our community throughout the remainder of the summer and fall, leaders said in a statement posted on the district s website.
