Mankato Area Public Schools' COVID-19 Update
May 14, 2021
This update provides clarification regarding the impact of the mask mandate announcement for our students and staff.
Today the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new guidance stating that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask. Following this guidance, Governor Walz announced an end to the statewide mask requirement effective immediately.
While this is an exciting development in our efforts to get past COVID-19, the CDC has not provided clear guidance for school settings. Therefore our current expectations around face coverings will remain in place. Masks must be worn by everyone inside school buildings and on school buses. We will continue to follow this practice until we get updated guidance. Any changes will be communicated as soon as we receive them.
Thank you for your continued support and efforts to keep our community safe.
