Dallas ISD plans to end its mask mandate on Feb. 28. The current mask mandate policy has been in effect since the start of the 2021-2022 school year.
for mask wearing of students, the Dallas Independent School District plans to lift its mask mandate beginning Feb. 28. Superintendent Michael Hinojosa made the announcement during the school board’s monthly meeting on Feb. 17.The current mask mandate policy has been in effect since the start of the 2021-2022 school year
The CDC still recommends that all students two-years-old and up wear a mask along with staff and faculty “We initially were going to wait until Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, but we couldn’t do it because the data didn’t allow us to do what I’m announcing today,” Hinojosa said. “We’re going to continue to look at the data and we’ll send out a formal announcement next week. But, our plan is as of Feb. 28, which is a week from Monday, we will make masks recommended.”
The district’s current mask mandate has been in effect since the start of the 2021-2022 school year. The requirements resulted in pushback from state and local leaders as it defied Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order on banning mask mandates across the state last summer. According to Hinojosa, the district had “single digits of students and staff members infected” with the virus on Wednesday.
“We want to thank everyone for their outstanding cooperation during this time,” Hinojosa said. “If the data turns around and tells us that we need to go back to a protocol that requires us to wear masks we will not hesitate to do that. But, I do want to thank all the staff and students for their compliance.”. Help stop Omicron by using all the tools to protect yourself and others.
