REMINDER: Mask Mandate for Students on Busses
We have seen an increase in the number of unmasked students boarding our busses. As a reminder, passengers in all Lansing USD 469 vehicles must properly wear a mask at all times (order by the CDC and US Department of Health and Human Services).
Per the CDC and the US Department of Health and Human Services current order, "Mask means a material covering the nose and mouth of the wearer, excluding face shields".
Also as a reminder, an exemption to the federal mask order states, "A person for whom wearing a mask would create a risk to workplace health, safety or job duty as determined by the relevant workplace safety guidelines or federal regulations” This exemption would apply to a school bus driver while actually physically driving the bus. This does not include the time when the bus is parked or not moving due to loading or unloading students. During these times the bus driver should be wearing a mask.
