(KNZA)--Masks will be required on all South Brown County USD 430 district transportation when the new school year begins, if more than one person is in the vehicle.

The Board of Education approved the USD 430 Safe Return to Learn Plan with the updated change when they met August 11th.

The change comes on the advice of the Kansas Department of Education following a CDC order requiring masks on public tranporation.

Otherwise, face coverings will be optional for both students and staff in USD 430 school facilities.

USD 430 will not require students and staff to be vaccinated.

The district plans to use a program through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment that will provide funding and resources to design and implement a school-based COVID-19 testing strategy.

The program is designed to reduce outbreaks, keep school districts open and minimize school absenteeism.
