Roeland Park has agreed to allow Bishop Miege High School to continue its optional face mask policy until Jan. 7 for all students, faculty, staff and visitors, with some restrictions. By a 5-4 vote, with Mayor Mike Kelly breaking the tie, the Roeland Park City Council on Monday night approved a memorandum of understanding, effective immediately, allowing Miege to continue its mask policy, which it had implemented Sept. 20. Also on Monday, the city council voted unanimously to extend the citywide mask mandate, which was set to expire Tuesday, to 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 16. In supporting the extension, Kelly noted that neighboring jurisdictions, including Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., have mask mandates in place into early November.
