Janesville School Board members took their masks off Tuesday after voting to lift the districtâs mask mandate, while mask-choice advocates watching from outside the board room cheered.
âBreathe that fresh air!â a man yelled.
Effective immediately, students and staff are no longer required to wear masks in school, although they may still wear them if they choose to.
The board voted 7-2 for the change after a sometimes emotional meeting.
The districtâs previous order called for masks through the end of July, which would have meant masks for staff and some 3,300 students during summer school, in the hottest time of the year with few air-conditioned classrooms.

The shooting was reported around 11:45 a.m. Thursday. LBPD officers found shell casings at the scene and began searching for suspects in the area, which is just north of Franklin Middle School, LBPD spokesman Richard Mejia said.
No suspect was located and investigators are unsure of what the motive for the shooting was. No injuries were reported, Mejia said.
Evelyn Somoza, a spokesperson for the Long Beach Unified School District, said that Franklin Middle School was briefly on lockdown due to the search.
“Students at the school were safe, but authorities locked down the school as a precaution,” Somoza said in an email.

Six children picked up hammers and pounded holes in a sheetrock wall on Tuesday on the lawn outside Lincoln Elementary School.
The kids, wearing helmets and goggles, enjoyed it so much that Principal Shawn Galvin had tell them twice that it was time to stop.
The wall bashing was part of a ceremony to mark the start of referendum-funded projects at most of the Janesville public schools, which will continue for about 15 months.
Much fun was had by all, as adults also took their turns at the two 4-by-8-foot walls that JP Cullen & Sons, the construction manager, had built for the occasion.
