Superintendent Steve Laatsch announced today that students will no longer be required to wear masks on Saline Area Schools buses. Use of the masks remains highly recommended.
According to an email circulated by the district this morning, the Washtenaw County Health Department will be following CDC guidance.
"Based on this information, Saline Area Schools will be highly recommending masking on school buses, but not requiring them, effective on Monday, Feb. 28," Laatsch said.
The health department's order on masks in schools expires Monday. The district decided last week to follow the health department's guidance that masks are highly recommended but not mandatory.

Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 93 and low of 70 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Sunny during the morning, thundery outbreaks in nearby in the afternoon, mist overnight.
Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.

I’ll answer then - not everyone. As for the candidate, I agree that the onus is on her to make it to the meeting. Six other candidates have rearranged their schedules to attend, it is not a requirement to give special consideration. Giving her credentials and resume during public comment was a good idea.
