Mask Requirement Returns For City Schools Of Decatur

DECATUR, GA — Face masks are once again required at all City Schools of Decatur facilities for students, staff and visitors, vaccinated or not, school officials said.

The announcement came Tuesday, shortly after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed its mask-wearing guidance for vaccinated Americans. The CDC now recommends everyone — even vaccinated people — wear masks indoors in certain circumstances, including in schools.

The district posted a short announcement on its website, and said more information will come in the Friday Follow-Up from Superintendent Maggie Fehrman.

Gwinnett County Schools, Atlanta Public Schools and DeKalb County Schools have also announced that masks will be required for the upcoming school year.
