Nemaha Central finishes year with face masks

(KMZA)--Nemaha Central students finished the school year this week wearing face masks despite the urging of patrons at last week's USD 115 Board of Education meeting to change the district's policy.

Troy Lewis and Steve O'Neil asked the Board to make masks “ recommended” instead of mandated for the few days remaining of the school year.

Following discussion, a motion by Board President Jason Hammes, and seconded by John Deters, to lift the mandate on May 12 for grades K-8 was defeated on a 3-4 vote.

Board members then unanimously approved a motion by Dave Clements to remove the district mask mandate, effective June 1.

In other business, Zach Snethen with HTK Architects, of Topeka, presented information about possible improvements at Nemaha Central Schools both long range and short range.

The Board voted to enter into an agreement with the architectural firm to develop facility plans for an initial fee of $27,000.
