Fayetteville Public School Board meeting on July 29, 2021

On Thursday, July 29, Governor Asa Hutchinson called a special legislative session to reevaluate Act 1002, which at this time prohibits local school districts from enforcing mask mandates. Fayetteville Public Schools passed a resolution that same day to send a message to the legislature that they would be enforcing one if legally permitted.
