BALTIMORE — The Baltimore City school system will no longer require face masks in schools beginning March 14.
City school officials say masking for central office staff and visitors will also become optional March 7. The Baltimore City’s board of education has signaled its support for the measure.
“The Board’s top priority is to support the ability of our families to choose what is best for their students. It is a responsibility we take seriously,” said board chair Johnette Richardson in a news release. “Since the beginning of the pandemic, City Schools has followed the science and best health guidance. The Board remains fully confident in the system’s ability to keep our students and staff safe."
