CONWAY — At a special meeting following last Thursday’s SAU 9 Board meeting, the Bartlett School Board voted 4-1 to go mask-optional at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School starting next Monday, the first day of classes following February vacation.
“If masks truly work, you should not be afraid,” Bartlett School Board member Scott Grant said Friday in a phone interview. “It’s really that simple. I’m pro-choice and think masks should be optional. If you want to wear a mask, go for it. If you don’t want to wear one, now you don’t have to.”
