FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va. – A school in Southside Virginia has changed course on its masking policy.

The Franklin County School Board overturned its previous ruling on masks. Just before the new school year started, the district voted to require masks but not require proof to be provided with exemptions. The board has now opted to now require documentation for those seeking an exemption to wearing masks. They will have to fill out a form detailing the medical or religious exemption by September 20.

Two weeks ago, 1,200 Franklin county students were quarantined. That led to a brief return to virtual instruction. When students returned to class last week, that number had declined to 415. This week, 274 Franklin County students are under quarantine.
