Hartshorne Public Schools To Require Face Coverings For Students, Staff

Hartshorne Public Schools has announced that students and staff must wear face coverings, starting August 17th.

Hartshorne is in eastern Pittsburg County, which has a growing number of COVID-19 cases.

The district said masks, face shields, or gaiters must be worn in common areas, or when proper distancing is not possible.

This mandate does not apply to extra-curricular activities--except when using school transportation.

The district will give two cloth masks to all students and staff who will be on-campus.
