Face masks will once again be required in all Laurel schools.
The Laurel School Board voted 4-2 Thursday to revise its policy after the teachers and classified staff unions threatened legal action if masks weren t once again made mandatory, Superintendent Linda Filpula wrote in a letter to parents Friday.
The issue arose Feb. 12 when Gov. Greg Gianforte rescinded Montana s statewide mask mandate, which left individual districts to determine their own masking policies in schools.
With no statewide requirement in place, Laurel schools reverted to the language within their own reopening plan, which stated that students and staff may wear masks in buildings and on buses- although they weren t required, according to an email from Filpula to parents earlier this month.
