SMCISD will recommend masks but set to end mandate effective Tuesday

San Marcos Consolidated ISD’s mask mandate comes to an end Tuesday. 

The school district announced that it would recommend masks but would no longer require them in a message sent to SMCISD families Monday night. 

“The mask mandate worked when vaccines were not available for all students and helped students and staff weather the Delta and Omicron surges,” the district said in its message to parents. “Now that guidance from public health experts is changing, we need to update our protocols.”
