Boise School District Will Require Masks In Schools

/ Boise School District trustees Tuesday unanimously approved a new reopening plan requiring students and staff to wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status. The updated district plan for this school year will rely on masks to protect a largely unvaccinated student population from the more contagious delta strain of COVID-19 and keep schools open. “It s really difficult for students to quarantine and be out of class,” said Boise Deputy Superintendent Lisa Roberts, who presented the plan to trustees for approval. “For teachers to try and keep track of in-class with the students that are out of class - or just even trying to keep enough staff with substitutes in our buildings. We feel like the masks are our absolute best bet for starting the school year in person, five days a week,” she said.
