The school board in the town of Vail, Arizona, had implemented a mask mandate in public schools. Parents weren’t having it, so they showed up at the Vail School Board meeting to tell the board to make the masks optional. Even before the meeting began, the Board walked out in protest.
So what did the parents do? On Tuesday, they voted in a new school board on the spot, then voted to end mandatory masking in Vail Schools. Parents gathered outside the school board meeting to make their positions known.
We're in Vail where a group of parents that wants the school district to do away with a mask requirement for kids are gathering outside district headquarters. There was a school board meeting scheduled for tonight. @KVOA pic.twitter.com/6lbOBmATjE

An executive order from Governor Doug Ducey rescinded the requirement to wear face masks in schools, but the order also permitted “K-12 school districts and charter schools still maintain the right to institute and enforce policies to mitigate against COVID-19 spread, including the use of masks,” according to local news.
