Good evening, Catawba County Schools families,
During this evening’s Catawba County Board of Education (BOE meeting), the motions to make face coverings optional did not pass. Therefore, face masks covering the nose and mouth will continue to be required indoors for all staff, students, and visitors until it is reviewed again at the next meeting on November 8, 2022. You can read the Use of Face Coverings policy and exceptions here.
Thank you for your partnership as we continue to navigate this pandemic together.
