School board approves updated calendar, mask policy
By Sue Sitter - | Jan 30, 2021 The Rugby Public School Board voted at a special meeting Jan. 20 to adopt an updated calendar for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year and extend mask policies in both Ely Elementary and Rugby High School.
The board will review the mask policy Feb. 9 to decide whether it should be changed.
Superintendent Mike McNeff told the board the policy had already been updated in November in accordance with a state mask mandate put in place by Gov. Doug Burgum.
“That expired on (Jan. 18) at 8 o clock,” McNeff said of the statewide mandate. “I wanted to make sure no one thought we were done doing this so I pushed out the message on Friday on social media.”
