In a letter to Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District parents, Superintendent Dr. Randy Trani said that masks would no longer be required in schools that are in a yellow, medium risk operational zone.
Mat-Su schools opened the school year with three operational zones, not requiring masks at the green, low risk zone with low transmission of COVID-19, providing that masks may be required in schools at the yellow medium risk level, and closing schools at the red operational zone with widespread community transmission.
“Based on many factors, including hospital capacity, our own data about the sources of current infection and the rate of spread in different environments, the lack of community support for ongoing mask requirements, as well as the availability of vaccines for all students and staff; the MSBSD will be changing our mitigation strategy with regard to masking when schools move to a yellow operational zone,” Trani wrote.
Trani wrote that the HAT team and district may reinstate “any and all mitigation practices if needed.”
