Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast students are getting ready to start their third year of school still dealing with COVID-19. But this year, local school districts have minimal protocols in place.
In a matter of days, the School District of Palm Beach County's universal and sweeping mask mandate for students could be scaled back, with parents once again having the ability to opt their child out of wearing a facial covering in school.
It will be several weeks at the earliest before the School District of Palm Beach County's universal and controversial face mask mandate for students can be relaxed, officials announced Wednesday evening.
As anticipated, the Florida Board of Education on Thursday ruled that eight public school districts including Palm Beach County violated state policy by mandating face masks for students without the ability for them to opt out.
