RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) -- The Randolph County Board of Education voted during an emergency meeting on Sunday to mandate masks.
The school board voted 4-3 and said they will re-evaluate the policy on Oct. 15.
Randolph County Superintendent Dr. Stephen Gainey said school staff will not have to wear masks if they are in a classroom alone or in an office.
Students participating in extracurricular activities, whether indoors or outdoors, will not be required to wear masks, Gainey said.
As the Delta variant and spiking numbers continue across the state, local schools are looking to mask mandates as the fall semester kicks into gear.
The data and the numbers have been changing day-to-day, and many school districts have set and then amended their mask mandates later.
