Sedgwick County commissioners on Wednesday overruled an order by Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly mandating protective face masks in schools to control the spread of the coronavirus. The action lets schools within Sedgwick County allow students and teachers to wear clear plastic face shields as face coverings, instead of the cloth or surgical paper masks the governor’s order requires, officials said. The action also revokes the governor’s requirement for fever checks to enter school buildings and a directive that students and educators disinfect their hands on an hourly basis.
