JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. â Parents in Jefferson County are finding themselves factionized once again over new guidance surrounding masks in schools.
Some parents say they are fed up with social distancing and masks for their kids, while other parents say the guidelines do not go far enough.
The guidelines for Jefferson County Schools state that children ages 3-11 must wear a mask at all times while in school. Students over the age of 12 who are vaccinated are recommended to wear a mask. The school district does not require students and staff who are over the age of 12 and unvaccinated to wear a mask, but they are strongly recommended to do so.
