Mayor Anthony Holt announced that he is lifting the mask mandate in Sumner County effective Friday, April 9 at midnight.
This means that students and staff in our schools may still wear a face covering if they choose, but they will no longer be required to wear a face covering. Our district reentry plan encourages but does not require students and staff to wear face coverings unless mandated by state or local officials.
Per our district re-entry plan, masks will still be required for all students and staff on buses.
