The Clark County School District welcomes Governor Sisolak’s updated directive to end the statewide mask mandate for Nevada.
Beginning at the end of the school day today, February 10, 2022, masks will no longer be required on CCSD campuses, schools, or facilities but will remain required on school buses. Because COVID-19 continues, students and employees of CCSD can make the individual choice to continue masking.
At this time, all other COVID-19 mitigation measures remain in effect.
The Clark County Education Association, the largest teachers union in the state, released a statement saying that it supports the governor's decision to end the mask mandate but went on to say it "encourages all staff, parents and students to make the best individual choice for them and their family on whether they continue to wear a mask at this time."
The CCEA represents over 18,000 licensed professionals in CCSD.
