Masks now optional in Fauquier County public schools for some activities
Fairfax County schools say they won't require masks for certain activities.
FAUQUIER COUNTY, Va. - This week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eased outdoor mask guidelines, and now one area school district is too.
As of Thursday, face coverings are optional for Fauquier County Public School students and staff while participating in outdoor activities like gym class, recess, labs, athletic practices, and events. They will still have to remain socially distant.
"I feel like now is the time when it’s right for our community," explained Executive Director of Student Services Frank Finn, who added that the decision was made partially because of new C.D.C. guidance as well as improved COVID metrics, talks with the county health department, and requests from parents.
