Genesee County imposing face mask mandate for kindergarten through sixth grade students and staff Local school districts will have to require masks now despite earlier rules making them optional
GENESEE COUNTY, Mich. (WJRT) - Students and school staff in kindergarten through sixth grade will have to mask up when they return to class in Genesee County this fall.
The Genesee County Health Department announced an indoor mask mandate for students in kindergarten through sixth grade in all schools in the county on Thursday afternoon. The measure supersedes local school district policies, most of which didnt require masks this fall.
Flint Community Schools is the only district in Genesee County to announce a requirement for face coverings this fall. Clio, Davison, Grand Blanc and other school districts announced optional mask rules, but they will have to make face coverings mandatory now with the health department order.
We now that a well fitting mask reduces the amount of exposure for those around us, said Genesee County Medical Health Director Dr. Pamela Hackert.
