FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) — Friday, the Fremont County Board of Wellbeing determined versus applying a consent order concerning the department and the Cañon Metropolis Faculty District that would have needed masks in educational institutions.

In the course of a assembly on Tuesday, the Fremont County Overall health Office, Board of Wellness, and RE-1 Faculty District agreed upon a consent buy requiring masks on faculty grounds.

Officials originally said the large transmission rate in RE-1 district universities was the purpose driving the mask mandate.

On the other hand, now the FCBOH is selecting in opposition to the consent order, which would’ve absent into influence Monday, Nov. 29. Officers say the determination was created due to the growing COVID-19 quantities in the Cañon City Faculty District “last but not least displaying a decrease.”

“The discussion on Nov. 23 was a past resort,” said FCBOH Chair Dwayne McFall. “We did come to a kind of verbal consensus with the superintendent and faculty board president at that time. Nevertheless, the Board of Health and fitness hopes this necessity is not essential and the district will step up its protocols to protect the learners, the staff, and the total neighborhood.”

The original consent purchase would’ve lasted via Jan. 25, 2022.
