(KNZA)--The South Brown County USD 430 Board of Education, during a special meeting Monday evening, approved a change to the district's Return to Learn Plan.

The change comes after the Brown County Commission on Monday approved a resolution implementing a countywide mask mandate until December 7.

The district had “ strongly recommended” the wearing of face masks during the school day but didn't require them. Language was changed in the plan to make masks mandatory until the resolution is lifted by the county.

A motion to change language in the plan to allow all students to participate in extra-curricular activities instead of only students in the traditional learning mode failed on 3-3 tie vote.
