Ketchikan’s schools may require masks next year if the vaccination rate among teenagers doesn’t improve. That was the message delivered by interim Superintendent Melissa Johnson to Ketchikan’s school board on Wednesday.
“One of the statistics that was kind of alarming was that 24% of 12 to 19 year olds are fully vaccinated for some reason, we thought that number would be a lot bigger. And so it’s hard to do non-masking mandates because there’s not a lot of kids vaccinated,” Johnson said. “So we’re going to try to push that up a little bit.”
