FACE COVERING EXEMPTION REQUESTS REED CITY AREA PUBLIC SCHOOLS FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2020 Parents: Please submit any Face Covering/Mask Waiver Exemption Requests to building principals as soon as possible. The District Return to School Roadmap plan requires a review of all medical requests prior to implementing them. A medical request also creates a need for the District to initiate or process consideration of the request under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Please be advised that students who are medically exempt from wearing masks may be required to wear face shields. The District may require additional precautions to ensure staff and student safety. If the District determines that your student is unable to safely attend school, the District may require your student to participate in our comparable Learn from Home virtual program. Michael L. Sweet Superintendent
