The Hillsboro School Board and members of the audience who spoke at last week’s meeting were evenly split on a new push to make masks optional again after a previous temporary restraining order against a mask requirement was dismissed in court.  With board member Kassie Greenwood not present, voted on making masks optional and the final verdict was a 3-3 vote that left the state mask mandate in place.  Bryce Rupert, Dan Tester and John Lentz voted in favor of optional masks while Nathan Kirby, Barbara Adams and Matt Lentz voted against.
