The Atlantic Community School District’s Board of Education will hold a Special Meeting 11:30-a.m. Thursday (Oct. 22nd), for the purpose of acting on “District Guidelines for Use of Face Masks” (Board Policy #908.R1).  The meeting takes place in the High School Media Center.

During their meeting last week, the Board continued with discussion on making the use of face masks/shields mandatory, with two members in favor of a mandatory policy. The district’s current policy says anyone in grades 6-thru-12 are expected to wear masks, when social distancing was not possible. The standard for the PK-5 building is to encourage the use of masks when social distancing cannot occur.
