Seminole County Schools extends mask mandate

Change will lift time limits on rules

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Students in Seminole County will have to follow the district’s mask mandate for a little longer.

The school board voted Tuesday to extend the mandate indefinitely so that if Florida’s state of emergency expires, the mandate will still remain in effect.
