Presidents of teachers unions in the Omaha, Millard, Westside and Ralston school districts on Friday called for masks to be required in Douglas County.
The president of the state teachers union joined them in their appeal to members of the Douglas County Board of Health and the Omaha City Council.
"We urgently ask that you act to immediately require masks be worn by all members of our community to help ensure the health and safety of children, school staff and all our citizens," they wrote.
The letters were signed by Tim Royers, president-elect of the Millard Education Association; Paul Schulte, president of the Millard Education Association; Robert Miller, president of the Omaha Education Association; Jane Leadabrand, president of the Ralston Education Association; and Teresa Matthews, president of the Westside Education Association.
