VERMILLION, S.D.(WNAX)- School boards are setting Covid-19 policies for the upcoming fall term.

Vermillion School Superintendent Damon Alvey says their board set an optional face mask policy.

Alvey says they did set a trigger level for face mask use.

Alvey says they settled on the number based on their experiences last year.

Alvey says most of the public comments at their Monday meeting supported the optional face mask policy.
