Mask mandates at schools no different than dress codes, superintendent says
Some school officials plan to enforce mask-wearing as part of the dress code.
At Cheser's district in Colorado, face masks have added to school dress codes per CDC recommendations that everyone in schools, regardless of vaccination status, should mask up indoors.
When a student walks in without a mask, whether the student forgot it or doesn't have one, they're given the opportunity to get a mask from school officials.
If that doesn't work, or there's a repeated issue, Cheser said a student's parents are contacted and that "typically" will lead to a quick resolution.
"But it could get to a point of student discipline," she said. "That's what would happen at any point if anyone refuses to follow the dress code."
Cheser said if students have a doctor's exemption to mask-wearing, the district will honor it, but it's otherwise expected.
