El Dorado County resolution says face coverings at school should be optional

The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution Tuesday asking state officials to allow local school districts to decide whether students wear face coverings on school campuses in the fall, according to The Sacramento Bee.

The board would like face coverings to be optional even if students are not vaccinated.

The El Dorado County Office of Education told The Sacramento Bee that it will follow guidance from the California Department of Public Health. Currently, masks are still required in all K-12 California schools.
