The Academies of West Memphis Charter School issued the following announcement on Aug. 11.
This resolution shall be effective from August 11, 2021 until the end of the 2021-2022 school year. The resolution will provide an avenue to review the district mask mandate as data is reported on a daily and weekly basis by West Memphis School District administrators and the West Memphis School District Board of Directors. The West Memphis School District administrators and board of directors will consider the recommendations and guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and other local health officials in the decision making process as well as the current level of Covid-19 in our district and community in making the decision for any possible revisions during the year. Due to the ever-changing nature of the Covid-19 virus, the Superintendent of Schools is authorized to immediately modify this resolution requirements, on a temporary basis, as necessary to comply with updated guidance, orders and directives from the Arkansas court system, the Governor of Arkansas, CDC, ADH or DESE. The mask mandate will apply to all students, employees, and adults on a school campus.
