DAVENPORT, Iowa — Wearing a mask will now be optional for students and staff throughout the Davenport Community School District.
Davenport School Board President Daniel Gosa said all masking requirements have been removed following a federal court ruling on Jan. 25 that prevents Iowa schools from imposing mask mandates.
Students and staff can still wear a mask in classrooms if they choose, however students are still required to wear face coverings on school buses or while using other district transportation.
The new policy will take effect immediately.
