Madison City Schools, now joining Huntsville and Arab City Schools.
Superintendent of Madison City Schools, Dr. Ed Nichols, said the decision to require masks came after the Alabama Department of Public Health released its back-to-school kit.
Dr. Nichols said they reversed their masking policy, not because of rising coronavirus cases, but because the CDC changed their quarantining guidelines. In the past, even if you had a mask on, even if you were in six feet, you were quarantined, but this year you have a mask on and are between three and six feet, then you re not quarantining, said Dr. Nichols.

Madison City Schools will mandate masks for all students and staff inside school buildings and buses when the academic year begins on Wednesday, Superintendent Ed Nichols announced late Monday.
This change from masks optional comes after the Alabama Department of Public Health issued a revised toolkit for schools earlier Monday with new quarantine protocols that will inevitably lessen quarantining if masks are worn in schools, Nichols said.
