USD #116 Transitions to Mask Optional

Tonight our Board of Education revisited the District’s current policy on face coverings for students, employees and visitors. You can view the presentation here: March 29 BOE Masking Presentation

The board approved the administration’s recommendation to transition USD116 to mask recommended starting Monday, April 4, 2022

This vote means, when the region is designated as Medium or Low, in accordance with CDC Guidance, the District will transition to “MASKS RECOMMENDED” beginning April 4. 

As a reminder, regardless of whether an individual chooses to wear a mask or not, “mask bullying” will not be allowed or tolerated. In no situation shall a student or USD staff member question another student or staff member about their decision to wear a mask. Bullying is prohibited by Board Policy and may result in disciplinary action for students and progressive discipline for staff.
