Dublin-Laurens County Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Jan. 31.
Dublin City Schools is ending its current mask mandate and will make mask wearing optional, effective immediately. This change in protocol does not apply to buses, which will continue to adhere to the state mandate currently in effect.
During the January 10 Board of Education meeting, the BOE decided they would revisit the mask mandate January 31.
The board will continue to follow previous protocol that provided Superintendent Dr. Fred Williams with the ability to reinstate the mandate following a polling of the board, should the number of positive COVID-19 cases in the area begin to surge again.
“We will continue to monitor the case volume for our district and community,” said Dr. Williams, “but we are also very receptive to stakeholder input on this issue. As we have at all times during this pandemic, we will continue to lean on the science provided by people like Dr. Thomas Craft, the Georgia Department of Public Health and the CDC in our decision-making processes.”
