MILTON A group of parents asked the Milton School Board on Monday night to lift the districtâs mask mandate for students, saying the time had come and that the danger of contracting COVID-19 was minimal. Superintendent Richard Dahman said later in the meeting the district would keep the mask mandate in place through the end of the school year, although no decision had been made about summer school or the fall semester. The speakers called themselves Milton Parents for Mask Choice. Their Facebook group listed 55 members. Dan Defore, 4451 Red Oak Trail, said the district does not have the legal authority to require masks.
