April 13, 2021 The Lewiston School Board will vote on potential changes to the district’s coronavirus mask mandate at a special meeting Thursday. The district’s mask requirement was enacted last fall after a spike in COVID-19 cases at two schools. The Lewiston Tribune reports Superintendent Bob Donaldson gave the board his blessing to roll back the mandate after hearing concerns from several parents at the public comment period who spoke about their children’s declining mental health. With widespread availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, Donaldson said the school should have a “pretty high level of vaccination.” According to a recent staff poll, more than 70 percent of district staff said they would get the vaccine.
