Mask and vaccination mandates, as well as Critical Race Theory were topics of discussion at this week’s Johnson County School Board meeting.

Parents Mark Jones and Jeff Carmichael both spoke against mask mandates and possible vaccine mandates, saying the board needs to protect the community’s children, citing studies they said show children have very little risk of contracting COVID-19, and that masks have negative side effects for children.

Jones also touched on Critical Race Theory.

Later in the meeting, board member Randy Brown brought a proposal before the board that only the local school board has the authority to implement mask or vaccine mandates, not the state or Federal governments.

The board asked for and will review a written, detailed resolution from Brown at their next meeting to discuss the proposal further.
