It was the recommendation of Brownwood ISD Superintendent Dr. Joe Young, and the consensus of the school board, that students and teachers of BISD will continue wearing masks for the final 10 weeks of this school year. Board President Michael Cloy asked for a motion if any board member wanted to change anything. Being no motion, the Board left current mask guidelines in place.
Leading up to the decision, Dr. Young was the first to speak. “When the Governor came out with his Executive Order that masks would be released, it sent shockwaves through school systems across the state,” Young said. The Texas Education Agency guidance came out a few days later for school districts which left the decision about mask usage up to the local school board.
