Bozeman Schools To Decide Mask Ruling This Month They need to decide on this issue quickly because school starts in just a few weeks and students need to be prepared. KBZKis reporting Bozeman school officials will be deciding in the next few weeks on whether students will be wearing masks when they return to schools this fall. Bozeman school officials have put together a task force and are looking at the Center for Disease Control's guidelines before they make their final decisions and no matter what decision they make, folks will have opinions about the issue. Last school year, students wore a mask when attending school in person, and went pretty smoothly. The big issue this year is kids returning to school full-time in person and how will that affect the decision.
