Parents and students of schools in Sheridan County School District 2 have expressed opinions on both sides of the decision to end the mask mandate in the county’s schools.
Craig Dougherty, who’s superintendent of the district, elaborated during a presentation on Public Pulse earlier this week.
Dougherty said the decision to ask for an end to the mandate was made in collaboration of all three of Sheridan County’s School Districts, and it wasn’t made overnight.

Sheridan, WYO The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) has approved a request from all Sheridan County school districts to make masks optional in K-12 schools. The change took effect today.
Approval from the WDH exempts local schools from the mask requirement included in the Twenty-Fourth Continuation of Statewide Public Health Order #1.
Signed by State Health Officer Dr. Alexia Harrist, the exception also grants school districts the authority to continue requiring masks under certain circumstances. This may include bus trips for activities and other situations where masks could help curb transmission, as determined by school and district administration in consultation with health officials.
