After hearing a complaint from a parent about the school district’s face mask requirement, the Hayward Community School Board voted unanimously Monday, Jan. 18, to continue requiring all building occupants to wear face coverings through the third quarter of the school year.
The board also voted to continue its COVID-related policy banning non-school groups, such as the Birkebeiner, from using school facilities.
