Following the lead of most other Johnson County districts, the Blue Valley school board on Monday decided to extend its mask mandate to everyone at all grade levels. Last week, the district announced it would require masks inside elementary and middle schools, abiding by a county health order mandating masks for all private and public schools that teach students as old as sixth grade. But most Johnson County districts decided to go further than the county’s order and require masks for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, worried that low vaccination rates among unmasked high schoolers would lead to mass quarantines and outbreaks.
