Caldwell School District now requiring students and staff to wear masks

The Caldwell School District is now requiring all students and staff to wear masks.

On Monday, the Caldwell School Board OK’d the updated mandate just a couple of weeks after board members voted to recommend masks for students and staff to begin the school year.

CBS2 reports the new mandate begins on Wednesday (TODAY) and is currently scheduled to last through Oct. 14.

The mask mandate also applies to school transportation.

The Caldwell school district said it will continue to review data at its upcoming meetings to determine if additional action will need to be taken.
