Shawnee Mission schools to vote on mask policy Monday night

Source: KCTV

The school board is meeting to vote on two different masking proposals. One plan focuses mainly on requiring elementary students to be masked, while the other leaves more of an option.

Under Plan A, masks would be recommended for students who are not vaccinated. Those who are vaccinated would not have to wear a mask. However, masks would be required on school buses whether you’re vaccinated or not.

For Plan B, elementary students would be required to mask. Based on the proposal, this is because children under 12 cannot be vaccinated. Once a vaccine does become available to them, this would change.

Staff in elementary schools would have the option to opt out of wearing masks but only if they show proof of vaccination. And, masks would be optional for the fully vaccinated in all other school settings.

MASKS FOR EVERYONE until we get the virus under control. Wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience vs
going to the doctor/hospital, and it's cheaper. Encourage everyone to get N95 masks, as they offer
better protection. Lots of places are selling them now.
