Mask-Wear Still Required At School
All:
Please note Governor Ducey's recent actions regarding masking-wearing do not pertain to schools and school-related activities. Under Kathy Hoffman's direction, the Superintendent of Instruction of the Arizona Department of Education, face-coverings are still mandatory in school settings. Please see the message below:
Update on Mask Requirement in K-12 Schools
Dear School Leaders,
We wanted to share information we received from the Arizona Department of Health Services today in light of Governor Ducey's executive order relaxing COVID-19 restrictions. AZDHS Emergency Measure 2020-04 is still in effect, requiring masks in all K-12 schools. Masking is one of the top mitigation strategies for safe in-person learning, as recommended by the CDC.
Masks must be worn on school campuses, on school buses, and during school-associated activities by all students, faculty, staff, contractors, and visitors.
Thank you,
Arizona Department of Education
Thank you for your consideration,
Mike Wright
Superintendent
Blue Ridge Unified Schools
