The vote comes as school districts across Wisconsin and the nation grapple with conflicting guidance as the school year inches closer.
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said vaccinated students and school staff can leave their masks at home in its updated guidance earlier this month, the American Academy of Pediatrics soon after recommended all students and school staff wear face coverings, regardless of their vaccination status.
The CDC did acknowledge that schools may need to consider masking if vaccination rates are low or community transmission is increasing. But the AAP took it a step further, saying it endorses universal masking because enforcing masking only among unvaccinated students and tracking vaccination status could be too challenging.
