Masks No Longer Required On School Buses: District 202
The updated guidance comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed their requirements about masks Friday.
PLAINFIELD, IL — Starting Monday, students, teachers and staff are no longer required to wear masks on Plainfield School District 202 buses, officials announced Sunday.
The district's updated guidance comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed their own regulations, effective Feb. 25, to ax mask requirements on buses or vans operated by public and private school systems.
Before this change, buses were the last place District 202 officials required masking — a result of the CDC's guidance. Now that the recommendations have changed, officials are adhering to them.
