FCCSC makes revision to when students can remove their masks

Brookville, IN —The Franklin County Community School Corporation released a statement today saying that per Governor Eric Holcomb’s Executive Order 20-39, the school corporation will be making revisions to the reopening plans that allow for students to remove face coverings when in the classroom, spaced a minimum of 3 feet apart, and students are all facing in the same directions. In the last revision on July 29, masks were to stay on unless the students were eating or drinking, at recess, in the class and 6 feet apart, engaged in strenuous physical activity, or for a documented medical reason.
The requirement for teachers to wear a face-covering if not able to maintain a distance of 6 feet does not change.
