I am concerned about the recent decision by our school board to allow parents to choose whether or not to have their child wear a mask while at school during the last four days of the school year.
This decision goes against CDC advice, and against the recommendations of the Ohio Department of Health. Governor Dewine wrote a letter to all school districts last week reminding them that the mask mandate in Ohio does not end until June 2nd, and that schools should remain masked through the end of the school year.
