Guidelines for 2021-22 to be posted on district website, which includes no mask mandate Written By: Erik Kaufman | × Patrons who want a say in how the Mitchell School District approaches the 2021-22 school year in terms of pandemic safety protocols will get their chance soon. Administrators with the district will be posting preliminary return-to-school protocols on the school district website and invite the public to review and send comments on returning to school as the pandemic appears to continue to wane. “This is not for the board to vote on at this time. This is our first blush at this, and we’re going to put it on the website and invite public input,” Superintendent Joe Graves said during Monday night's regular Mitchell Board of Education meeting. “We’ll use the same format as last year, but the information is quite different. There is no mask mandate and a few other things have been removed.”
