Operative words

As a result, during tonight's agenda review meeting, I announced that I will propose a mask mandate for students, staff, and visitors at all schools, buses, and facilities to be voted on next week by the Board of Education. The mask mandate will become effective upon Board approval during next Thursday's board meeting, August 12. The mask mandate applies to everyone regardless of whether or not they are vaccinated.

Enforcement

Board-approved mandate; exclusion from campuses

Notes

Adopted in defiance of GA-38; the State sought to enjoin district mandates and the districts obtained temporary injunctions (Ex. 049).
