The Yankton School Board has approved an updated policy to permit staff and students who are fully vaccinated to go without face masks for indoor settings.
Yankton School Superintendent Dr. Wayne Kindle says the burden of proof of vaccination will be on the students and their parents.
Kindle says the policy approved Thursday runs through the summer and decisions will be made at their August School Board meeting about the next school year.
Kindle says the Yankton School District deserves credit toward reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the community by following strict guidelines over the past school year.
