On Aug. 11, the district updated its mask policy for students, staff and visitors.

All cities within the Fulton County Schools jurisdiction were above 100 per 100,000 positive COVID-19 cases. According to that data, all cities were identified as high community spread by public health officials. The requirement to wear a mask indoors was then extended to all schools, including the schools and facilities within Johns Creek, which had previously been exempt.
