Yesterday, Governor Hutchinson announced that the statewide mask mandate has been lifted. Bauxite Schools will be creating an official mask plan for the remainder of the school year which will be posted to our website on April 15.
However, we have been aware of the potential lifting of the mask mandate and have been in discussions with our staff well in advance of the governor’s press conference yesterday, so we are prepared to announce today that we will allow all individuals the freedom to make their own decisions about mask wearing.
At this time, we have no COVID-19 cases or quarantines, and our staff has had the opportunity to become fully vaccinated. Students over the age of 16 are also now allowed to become vaccinated if they choose to do so. While we are still practicing safety measures such as hand washing, hand sanitizing, and social distancing, we are prepared to allow staff and students the opportunity to make their own individual decisions about mask wearing.
