WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â A change to masking requirements is coming to a Wausau School District.
As several local school districts are removing masking requirements the issue came before the Wausau School Board. During the Boardâs update on the Project Relaunch plan, an unexpected motion was made by Jon Creisher to make masks optional in schools immediately.
Initial concerns were raised about the introduction of the motion by Board Treasurer Lance Trollop regarding the timing of the motion. Trollop explains that motions voted on at the regular board meeting usually go through a committee meeting first.
