(KAIR)--When elementary-aged students of Atchison County’s USD 377 return to class following the Labor Day holiday, face masks will be required to be worn by the unvaccinated.
That follows action of the Board of Education for the Atchison County Community Schools during a special meeting held Wednesday.
According to a release from the District, the school board action means that mask wearing will be mandatory for all students, from PreK through 6th grade, as well as staff, who are not vaccinated.
Approval came on a 4 to 3 vote.
The school district, prior to the start of the school year, had not required but encouraged, the wearing of face masks for those not vaccinated.
The mask mandate takes effect Tuesday.
