Mask wearing will remain a personal choice, meaning it will become optional.”
Superintendent Robert Dillard added, “The last part of this resolution is that so we don’t have to meet again if we have a big flair up and we want to go back to the same thing that we had in place at the beginning of school, we can make an administrative call on that and we don’t have to have another one of these called meetings to do it.”
