The federal government has now mandated that all children 2 years old, (Yes you read that correctly, 2 YEARS OLD), staff, volunteers, and contractors that enter a head start building must be masked. It started November 30, 2021.
Stacie Brown with the Morgan County Head Start program referred us to the federal governments website. The decision was NOT made locally. Because the head start received federal dollars, the mandate affects them as well.
Even though the mandate has already begun you can still express public comment at the link here.
Dr. Futrell is the director of the office of head start and has made the decision to mask our children even though here in Tennessee the COVID numbers continue their decline.
Her directive is at this link.
