Beals Elementary board votes for masks
by Nancy Beal
When the Moosabec CSD board that oversees Jonesport-Beals High School voted 5-4 to keep mask wearing voluntary in that school September 14, two of the three members from Beals, who independently govern Beals Elementary School, were among the four who opted for a return to mandatory indoor masking. A week later, meeting alone as the BES board to consider whether masks should be required in their elementary school, they voted 2-0, with one abstention, to require masks indoors.
