The Putnam County Schools will maintain its mask mandate over the final three weeks of school.
The School Board voted 5-1 to continue the mandate with Kim Cravens objecting to the decision. Cravens made a first motion to immediately lift the mandate. An overflow audience applauded Cravens’ motion, but it did not receive a second.
School Board Chair Lynn McHenry said he objected to the governor’s decision to bring up the issue so close to the end of the school year.
Jerry Maynard made the motion to keep the mandate through the end of the year and reevaluate later. He said with so few days remaining, it did not make sense to change things now.
