SPM NEWS 5.20.21 As of this morning, students, teachers, and staff in the Sioux City Community School District and across the state are no longer required to wear masks. That action was taken to comply with a law passed last night by the Iowa legislature in the final hours of this year’s session. Early this morning, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed the bill that prohibits mask mandates in Iowa schools. The Woodbury County Sheriffs officer investigated threats by a 6th grade student at the Bronson Elementary School. Deputies say the student did threaten to shoot students at school. The student was suspended and as a precaution extra security measure have put in place. Investigator say this case is a reminder it is the responsibility of everyone to keep our schools and communities safe. If you see or hear something, say something.
