Districts still waiting for state DOH guidance for fall school reopening | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS School districts across the state are still waiting for state health guidelines that will shape key decisions in reopening schools in the fall, and some leaders are saying they can’t wait much longer. Districts are looking for direction from the state on a handful of issues crucial to their ability to return all students to daily in-person instruction in the fall: masking requirements, social-distancing rules, whether a remote option will be necessary and the extent that districts can ask about vaccine status. In recent comments, some school leaders have suggested they can only wait so much longer and may have to move forward with making decisions about what the fall will look like in their districts.
