Hood River County School District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn says the district will be communicating with the Hood River County Health District in the wake of the Oregon Health Authority planning to no longer require masking in schools as of March 31. Polkinghorn says they want to get the pulse of the community to find out what they want the district to do. Polkinghorn noted the Oregon Department of Education is preparing a new guidance framework for schools that will not involve requiring wearing a mask.
