(undated) — Massachusetts school districts still have the power to decide whether to require students to wear masks in school. But that may change if the state’s Education Commissioner has his way. Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Jeff Riley is seeking authority to mandate that students ages 5 and up, staff and educators in public K-12 schools wear masks indoors through October first. Riley’s request is expected to be voted on at a meeting of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday).
