Prince George’s County Public Schools has announced it will be moving to a mask-optional policy beginning Tuesday, September 6. PGCPS announced earlier this month that the school district would return to a “mandatory mask policy in all schools and facilities until further notice, effective Monday, August 15,” saying that the decision was recommended by the Prince George’s County Health Department. Montgomery County Public Schools ended its indoor mask requirement on March 8.
Per PGCPS:
With the declining local COVID-19 positivity rates, CEO Dr. Monica Goldson announced the mask-optional policy will resume in all PGCPS facilities on Tuesday, September 6. All staff, students and families are encouraged to support personal decisions on mask-wearing.
When responding to public health threats such as COVID-19, Maryland school districts have flexibility in determining mask-wearing policies. PGCPS will continue to make health and safety decisions in consultation with health experts.
