This evening's agenda includes three items introduced by board member Angela Skillings.  The first is an action item to change the masking policy in the district to be fully optional for all students and to force the board not to re-consider that policy but to depend on the Superintendent of Schools to stop instruction  as necessary if COVID-19 is out of control.

The second item is a discussion item about gender support plan in the district.

This meeting has been canceled as of Saturday afternoon.

On Monday Sept. 27 the Menomonie School Board changed the masking policy for the district to require masks on all students in grades K-6 until such time that vaccines became available for students in that age range. 

The Menomonie School Board tonight approved a compromise masking policy. Students in K-6 classes will be required to wear masks in school until such time that those students may be fully vaccinated. This does not apply to teachers, for whom masking will remain optional. The mask mandate for younger students passed 5-4 after a very long discussion.
