HELENA â The Helena School Board of Trustees approved new COVID-19 rules for the Helena School District at their meeting Tuesday evening.
Beginning July 1 masking will be optional on school property, although they will still be recommended to help prevent the spread of COVID. Only one trustee, Janet Armstrong, voted against the change.
Parents at the virtual meeting had mixed reactions to the policy shift, with some noting that COVID-19 vaccines are not yet available for students under the age of 12.
