Mask requirement for children in school

Still unknown in South Carolina is whether the state will allow public school children to return to their classrooms.  But if they are to come back to their schools in the fall, it’s likely that wearing a mask will be required like pens and pencils…and laptops.  Molly Spearman, the state superintendent of education, said during a meeting this morning of the AccelerateEd task force, “If we want to keep schools open, if we want to get back to a more normal life, we have to maintain social distancing and we have to wear masks when we are out in public.”
