Western Dubuque Schools Consider Mask Threshold

Western Dubuque Community School Board members are considering implementing a COVID-19 positivity rate threshold at which masks would be required in school buildings. Board members discussed district COVID-19 procedures at a work session this week. While no official decisions were made, board members expressed a desire to implement a mask policy. The matter will be discussed again at the board’s meeting on Tuesday, November 16th. A majority of board members seemed to indicate that a 3%-per-building threshold was a good number.
