Wellsboro Area School District has a universal masking requirement as part of their current Health & Safety Plan. At the previous School Board Meeting, this requirement was NOT enforced, thus jeopardizing the health of its attendees. As a public meeting, WASD's School Board is REQUIRED to provide equal access. Due to the public health crisis in our community, failing to enforce a written masking policy is in violation of this requirement. After members of the School Board spoke at the previous meeting about counting the number of speakers physically present at the meeting to determine their policy votes, Zoom can not be considered equal access.

We request that you enforce all masking requirements for the 12/21/2021 WASD School Board Meeting, and for all future meetings while the masking requirement remains in effect.
