Parents of students who attend Fremont County School District #2 request the Board call an emergency meeting to vote to make the wearing of masks in our School optional. We believe the Board should exercise their local authority and not waste time seeking a variance from the State Department of Health, just simply make a decision that is best for our students. The parents in this District elected our Board of Trustees, we did not elect the State Department of Health officials who arbitrarily make decisions based on statistics that do not apply to our small, isolated District. We know that students are a low risk category for COVID-19. Give our kids a few weeks of breathing normally.
