One set of parents in Menomonie schools are lawyering-up to try and get all kids and teachers to wear masks.
Parent Thomas Pearson has asked for a due process hearing with Menomonie’s superintendent that could end with a new mask mandate. Pearson says Menomonie schools’ current mask policy that only requires masks for young kids doesn’t protect his child who has down syndrome. Pearson’s child is a first grader covered by the mask rules, but he still wants more. The hearing could happen sometime in December.
