Dr. Gainey's recommendation to the school board, approved on August 29,2021.
The Randolph County School System require the use of cloth face coverings by everyone (students, staff members, and any visitors), while inside a building in our school system or on a school system bus. However, a person will not have to wear a cloth face covering inside a building if in a work area alone (such as a classroom or separate office).
Also, the use of cloth face coverings will not be required for extracurricular activities, both inside and outside of the building, by students, staff members, or spectators. I recommend this plan be implemented through the end of the day on 10/15/21. At that time, based on the data in our school system, this plan can be revised or remain in place. However, we have to do everything possible to keep our children and staff members on school campuses to provide 5 days of in-person instruction per week for all students at the same time while also having their extracurricular activities in place with regular schedules and procedures. I do not want the safety measure of not wearing cloth face coverings to interfere with these two major gains compared to where we were as a school system on 3/14/20.
