LEWISTON In close votes Monday night, the School Committee rejected a motion to require masks in schools and approved a motion that makes mask-wearing optional.
The approval came after nearly two and half hours of debate on Superintendent Jake Langlais’ back-to-school recommendations for the fall.
Optional mask-wearing was among the proposals and the only one to evoke disagreement.
“This is a personal/family decision,” Langlais wrote in a memo to the committee. “We recommend that you wear a mask if you are unvaccinated.”
