Beginning Friday, masks are no longer required in the Ontario Local Schools, according to RichlandSource.com.
This news comes after the board of education voted 4 to 1 to change the policy that had been in place since September 1st. One board member felt they should keep the mask mandate in place through Christmas, so parents concerned about COVID-19 could get their children vaccinated.
Ontario Superintendent Lisa Carmichael said she would not hesitate to reinstate masks if cases were to rise again.
