BCSS Mask Adherence
The safety of our employees and students is our top priority, and the adherence to safety procedures and policies has played a vital role in helping to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Governor Ivey has indicated that she will not extend Alabama's mask mandate past April 9, 2021. However, she encourages people to continue wearing masks. The CDC recommends that individuals, whether vaccinated or not, wear masks to prevent the spread of the virus. Butler County Schools will continue to follow the CDC recommendations and require all employees and students ages 6 and older to wear masks while at school, work, and/or any school sponsored function or event for the remainder of the 20-21 school year.
