York Dispatch
Nine parents testified at the West Shore School District and Eastern York School District s board meetings Thursday night about concerns they had with each district s health and safety plan for the 2021-22 school year.
Both boards passed their plans with a unanimous vote, despite the parents concerns. A larger group of parents, including several who testified on Thursday, also testified at the June 17 board meeting against a potential mask mandate, which is not included in either plan.
At least 43 people testified against mask mandates at six local school board meetings last month, including at West Shore, despite none of the districts proposing a mandate. School districts must submit their health and safety plans for the 2021-22 school year by July 30 to be eligible for COVID-19 relief funding, and many of the parents were concerned that the plans would include mask mandates.
