Hillsboro School District's Hands Tied by Court Order

Students have the option of going mask-free in Hillsboro Schools for now after a Montgomery County Court decision Friday.  On Friday, a Montgomery County Judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the School District from requiring masks to be worn by students. Starting Monday, September 20th students will not be required to wear masks on school buses or at school.   The district says the court decision mans the Test to Stay alternative to quarantine alternative is off the table in a lot of cases.    An immediate ramification of this decision is the loss of our ability in many cases to offer the Test to Stay alternative to quarantines. Superintendent David Powell says the unwillingness of other school districts to participate in extra-curricular contests with our teams is also a possibility. Powell says the district will continue to implement other mitigation strategies to try to reduce the likelihood and severity of potential COVID outbreaks in our schools.
