St. Paul school board lifts school mask mandate

Students in St. Paul will no longer be required to wear masks in classrooms, starting Monday, as long as the spread of COVID-19 remains in check.

The school board on Tuesday changed the district's mask policy, removing the mandate and allowing students and faculty to choose whether or not to don a face covering in public schools.

The resolution passed 6-1 during a sometimes raucous committee of the board meeting as about two dozen demonstrators at times interrupted the proceedings. Board Member Uriah Ward was the lone dissenting vote.
