MASON CITY – At the Mason City Community School District Board of Education meeting to be held on September 20, 2021, the Board Meeting Agenda will have an agenda item related to Masks Mandate. This is in follow up to the temporary restraining order a federal judge in Des Moines granted on September 13 prohibiting the State of Iowa from enforcing section 280.31 (prohibiting public school districts from requiring masks or face coverings for employees, students, or visitors). The order, which can be read in full here https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21061751-federal-temporary-restraining-order-iowa-house-file-847, is effective immediately. This allows each local school board to make the decision whether to require masks in school buildings as part of their COVID mitigation plan. The current mitigation plan for the district recommends the wearing of masks in school buildings.
Due to the physical limitations of the Board Room and the time limitations of Open Forum set by Board Policy 213, the Board is requesting written comments on this agenda item topic from the school district community and the Mason City community to help the Board make an informed decision about this question. Students, staff, parents and the public may share their thoughts and opinions on the requirement of masks by visiting the school district website, http://www.masoncityschools.org and clicking on the link in the article “Request for Comment Submission on Mandating Masks in School”
These comments will be shared with the board directors prior to the meeting and included as a supporting document on the agenda and recorded in the minutes of the meeting the same as comments made during Open Forum. Comments must be submitted by Friday, September 17, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. (CDT).

Ben Franklin quote”if you give up Liberty for security, you will end up with neither !!
Sleepy Joe quote” you need to give up freedom to have safety.
I’ll go with Ben Franklin !!!!
Another died from Covid break thru !! Wouldn’t make just as much sense to blame the vaccine that didn’t work in protecting those who died from Covid that had the vaccine ? As it does blaming those who didn’t have the vaccine ?? Liberals are idiots.
You really are one clueless dumbass idiot.
In a single day, the number of migrants in Del Rio, Texas, who are waiting underneath the International Bridge, has doubled. Now, there are more than 8,000 of these people, and the situation there has overwhelmed Border Patrol. Open the gates and they will come, 8000 new demorats, armageddon is coming.
After squatting some 20 plus million dollars in that desperately needed, palatial, very tony, athletic field house. The school board should be the ones wearing masks.
Here’s some (real) political news.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Public approval of U.S. President Joe Biden has dropped to the lowest level of his presidency.
which is still higher than trump’s approval rating.
Scare tactic by the left leaning media.
An Alabama couple who trashed vaccines on their YouTube channel died from COVID-19 within three weeks of each other
Quit lying and stay on topic.
Why didn’t they ask our impute when they raised the school portion of our property taxes 50%
A shrinking school system and just cant stop spending our money.
There is a easy answer to why surrounding school open enrollments are increasing. MCHS
Because they knew what the response would be. How a city council can run a city into that much debt that they have to unilaterally raise property taxes so much forces me to question the honesty of those same city officials. Not accusing, just wondering.
Get the vaccine if you want. If you are concerned with COVID, get the vaccine and leave people to their own decisions. If the vaccine works , the unvaccinated are of no threat to you or anyone else( except other unvaccinated). People are forgetting that this is still a free country.
You are definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Read it again, moron. Armjabs comment is 100% provable fact.
Franklin your a moron – male kides are 6 times more apt to die from the VAX than from the covid (flu) kill your own offspring if you like but stay the hell away from my family you sadist.
You are full of shit!
Franlinstein – oh ! swamie we are so humbled by your WHO communist approach to this designed plot to destroy America that we will be watching for your marxist expertise on this communist agenda. Thanks again comrade !
You are full of shit!
You got the kids in school. Now line up the shots. As of today the entire military should be vaccinated. This is serious business. No different than the polio shot that is required to start school. No shot than no admittance to the school. Mississippi’s school system needs to be shutdown. It’s everywhere now as of today. Watch and learn. See what happens. The strongest and most powerful deterrent we have to stop this sickness. This last line of defense. It’s the children under 10 years old. If it mutates off the little ones than it’s over. Your world is slipping away. It’s filled with hate anyways. Not love. The money will be the first to go. So, just put on your mask and sit down. Leave the kids out of it. Dummy.
Lol, we know what it’s really about, getting nanotechnology into the body for control. Source – Georgia Guidestones, Agenda 2030. Can’t deceive researcher’s. We got your #. TA
Your tin foil hat is getting mighty tight, little buckaroo.
Yes research matters, proof willful ignorance is a choice. Apparently you’ve read Saul Alinsky “Rules For Radicals” & “The Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion”, also you must be up on patents & Tesla scalar & nanotechnology. Surely your IQ is above 165. No worries choosing ignorance has a broad path guaranteeing plenty of like minded people. https://youtu.be/g7IftycEbgA. TA
Research? Ha ha. You have had too many mint juleps. You don’t find research on You Tube. You find opinions based on corrupted data or false narratives. You want research? Go to school for 8+ years, learn more about a subject than you believed possible, and then come back with ‘research’
