The Moscow School Board voted to continue its mask mandate for the remainder of the semester following a recommendation from Superintendent Greg Bailey at a regular meeting Wednesday night. Face coverings for students and staff have been required indoors since the beginning of the school year. The vote to continue with masks was unanimous.
Board Chairman Ken Faunce said he’s received 16 emails from constituents in his zone who support extending the mask mandate.
In other business, the board joined other school districts in Idaho and surrounding states in a class action lawsuit against e-cigarette maker, JUUL Labs. The litigation asks the company to provide funding relief to offset costs involved with ensuring vaping devices aren’t used in school settings. (Moscow-Pullman Daily News)
