Governor mandates masks for schools

Supt. Clark

Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday issued an executive order that will require masks in Kentucky schools.

Crittenden County School Superintendent Vince Clark said Tuesday that the local district will digest the governor’s order over the next couple of days and release a statement with its responsive steps by Friday.

Clark said it is his understanding that the governor’s order is for 30 days. Crittenden County is scheduled to return to the classroom for the fall semester on Aug. 24.
