Mask mandate returns in Manhattan Ogden district amid tense mask vote
Health officials called the moment dangerous as Manhattan Ogden reimposed a district wide mask mandate effective for all students after a vote that overturned a prior policy. Shawnee Mission voted to keep masks optional for middle and high schoolers, with a contentious meeting leading to an audience removal. Superintendent Michelle Hubbard cited staffing strain and omicron pressures, warning all hands will be needed next month as cases rise and the district can require masks if cases or quarantines exceed 3 percent.
