Like much of the rest of the Northwest, the White Salmon Valley School District moved to an optional face-covering policy this week. Superintendent Sean McGeeney says in visiting district buildings in the last couple of days, people are comfortable with the situation. McGeeney says they continue taking other COVID-19 prevention steps, and they will be evaluated over time. McGeeney noted the district’s administrative team re-evaluates those measures on weekly basis, and opted to take a slow, one-at-a-time approach.
