The Teton School District 401 Board of Trustees voted on May 10 to make masks optional at all schools for the remainder of the academic year, effective May 11.Â
Superintendent Monte Woolstenhulme introduced the idea because Teton County has seen a steady decline in its active Covid case rate over the past months, and because all adults and teens 16 and older can now easily get the vaccine. On May 10, U.S. regulators approved the Pfizer shot for children as young as 12.  The numbers show we should be backing off of what we are requiring people to do, Woolstenhulme said. The data proves that. Â
While it may seem like the global pandemic was the only thing people were talking about this year, Teton Valley saw plenty of news that was unrelated to COVID.
The following list is just a sampling of some of the broader themes that marked the year. Many of these stories will continue to impact our community in years to come.
School construction completed
All six projects funded by the school bond approved by voters in 2017 were wrapped up this year. Driggs and Victor each saw new elementary schools, while Rendezvous Upper Elementary, Tetonia Elementary, Teton Middle, and Teton High were renovated.
