BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Officials with the Boise School District in southwestern Idaho have approved a plan that does not require students and staff to wear masks during the upcoming school year.
The Idaho Statesman reports the district's Board of Trustees on Monday unanimously approved a COVID-19 response plan created with help from parents, teachers and health professionals.
It encourages those who are not vaccinated to continue wearing masks to protect themselves and the community.
