One Texas school district is adding face coverings to its dress code to get around Governor Abbott's ban of mask mandates. The Paris ISD Board of Trustees made the decision yesterday, stating that the governor's executive order still gives school districts the authority to amend its dress code. The change was implemented after trustees heard from district employees, parents, and healthcare workers for more than an hour about the issue. The mask requirement is in effect for all Paris ISD students and employees.
