"The Blanchester Public Schools board of education voted Monday night to relax its masking rules, directly contradicting the Ohio Department of Health’s masking requirements for educational settings."

and

"The state of Ohio requires students to wear masks in and outside during school functions. Exemptions can be granted for health or religious reasons, eating and drinking, or participating in sports, among other reasons.

Blanchester’s board voted to immediately allow students and staff to remove their masks outdoors and on buses with a window open. On June 1, the district also will allow students and staff to remove masks indoors."

This is the decision of the school board and, apparently, the school superintendent has no say in the matter. I hope other school districts follow suit soon.
