The Blanchester Public Schools board of education voted Monday night to relax its masking rules, directly contradicting the Ohio Department of Health’s masking requirements for educational settings.

The Ohio Education Association, a statewide teachers union, has questions, according to the report from our news partner, WCPO-TV.

Some families in the area backed him up.

From the letter listing the reasons people may give for not masking

“ODH and ODE Covid-19 Health and Prevention Guidance for Ohio k-12 schools are not law”

Interesting argument.

Last week Kenton Ridge HS, Springfield OH held their prom. There was no dancing allowed.

I have never seen a scientific study that supports the claim. But I have seen scientific studies that refute the claim.
