School is weeks away from ending for the year, but the mask-wearing controversy continues to stir contention just as strongly as it did eight months ago. As some parents show up to school district meetings and make a push to end the mask mandate in schools, others are expressing concern over a new kind of doctor shopping that they say is happening across the state.
Parents allege that medical professionals are handing out mask exemption notes for students some without ever meeting the child or parent face-to-face.

In some Utah districts, the number of failing grades more than doubled from the previous school year. Schools are now taking extra measures to get students caught up.
Ask any student how the school year was, and you ll get similar answers. This year has been kind of hard with having motivation, said Davion Washington, senior at Jordan High School. It s kind of crazy, especially going online and offline, said Logan Baker, senior at West Jordan High. It s definitely difficult.
