Amarillo ISD Board of Trustees votes to keep mask mandate until May 17, with exceptions
Nearly four hours from when Wednesday’s special meeting of the Amarillo Independent School District Board of Trustees began, board members voted on a measure that will affect the district’s face-covering policy for some students and staff beginning Monday.
In a 4-3 vote, the district’s board decided to continue to follow the face-covering guidelines set by the Texas Education Agency with some exceptions. Starting Monday, students in pre-K through fifth grade will not be required to wear masks and the district’s superintendent, Doug Loomis, will have the power to implement further mask breaks including during class transitions, recess and outdoor activities.
