The Fond du Lac School District will continue a mask mandate for the final few weeks of the school year. Interim superintendent Sharon Simon says the district is following recommendations from the CDC and public health officials to keep students and staff safe. “From the CDC to the Wisconsin Health Department t o our local Health Department, they all say masking makes a difference,” Simon told WFDL news. “I believe in our professionals, that if they tell us that masking makes a difference then we should continue masking.” School Board president Mark Jurgella says the board is standing by it’s commitment to do whatever it takes to keep students in class five days a week. “This new guidance allows us to have no more quarantines if everyone is wearing masks. If there are no more quarantines, people can make it through the remainder of the school year, that was one of the goals we had back in January.”
