Good Evening OA School Community,
During a news conference today, Sunday, February 27, 2022, Governor Hochul announced that the New York State mask mandate for schools will be lifted this coming Wednesday, March 2, 2022.
Instead of lifting the school mask mandate tomorrow, Monday, February 28th, Hochul said she chose Wednesday to allow schools and county officials time to adapt to the new rules.
On Friday, February 25th the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also released new guidelines advising that most Americans no longer need to wear masks in indoor public places in communities without high rates of COVID-19 hospitalizations and other risk factors. The revised CDC guidance also clarified that the TSA mask mandate for public transportation no longer applies to public school buses/vehicles. You can read more and check risk levels by county on their website here: https://www.cdc.gov/
Given the updated guidance and once confirmed with Tioga County officials, effective Wednesday, March 2, 2022, masks will be optional in all Owego Apalachin Central School District buildings and buses.
