Masks not required on South Carolina school buses despite federal mandate Morgan Newell
YORK COUNTY, S.C. (WBTV) - Students can ditch their masks on the school bus.
Masks will not be required on South Carolina school buses in the upcoming school year.
With the school year just a month away for our Palmetto state schools, this was an announcement some parents have been waiting for.
It all started with state legislators putting a mask enforcement provision in the state budget. It states no school district can use any money from the budget to enforce mask mandates in “any educational facility.”
