(Fremont County, WY) – County 10 shared last week, Fremont County School District (FCSD) #1’s plan to apply for a mask variance for the remainder of the school year. The application submitted to the Wyoming Department of Health was approved by State Health Officer Dr. Alexia Harrist on April 27th, 2021. The approval now awaits authorization from the school board. Advertisement “At the time of approval, Fremont County has been in the ‘green zone’ for at least two weeks,” Harrist stated, referring to levels used to measure active cases in an area based on population. The Board has not yet authorized administration to implement the variance, as changes will need to be made to the Smart Start Plan, but it is set to be discussed at the FCSD #1 special board meeting, scheduled for Friday, April 30, at 7AM.
