HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) â The move to get rid of the statewide face mask policy in schools has left one teacher advocacy group frustrated.
Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order on Tuesday that said parents should have the choice of whether their kids wear masks in class. This led to Superintendent Molly Spearmanâs decision to rescind the mask policy for schools across the state.
While there are parents, students and teachers who are happy to take the masks off, some say itâs still too soon. And the decision by the stateâs top education leader has left those with SC for Ed frustrated.

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - As the deadline to register for the Horry County Schoolsâ virtual program nears, Gov. Henry McMaster is starting a push to make masks optional for students inside South Carolina classrooms.
âI think it is a height of ridiculosity for a school district to make that decision for the parents, particularly since we know that even when the virus was rampant that the schools, the classrooms were the safest places of all,â McMaster stated.
