Buncombe's Supt. recommendations are to go mask optional Feb. 28, masks req'd on buses, and anyone returning from isolation/exclusion to wear it for 6-10 days.
No vote yet. Will come back to this.

Winston-Salem Forsyth will go mask optional for students, staff & visitors on Feb. 28.
The date was set to allow time to give N95 masks to staff. The local city mandate is being lifted by the mayor on the same day at 5 pm.

It has taken CMS just as long as WCPSS to get through the mask optional agenda item.
​There was an amendment to change to the 26th, which failed. It was brought up Guilford did it effective today.

It was just brought up at the CMS board meeting that WCPSS voted for sports to be mask optional immediately and extracurriculars on Feb 25.
The implication is CMS is dragging it out.
The audience applauded.

CMS board votes to go mask optional effective Mar. 7.
The final vote passed unanimously.
Masks are still required on district transportation as long as the CDC's order remains in effect.
​#nced #ncpol

With CMS' vote, there are 82 districts going mask optional and 32 still required.
There is a handful that was supposed to decide this week which I have not accounted for yet.
