Lakeland R-III Mask Policy Masks are recommended but not required for students and staff at the start of the 2021-2022 school year. If 10% or more of the school population tests positive for COVID-19 or is on quarantine due to close contact, masks will be required for all students, faculty, and staff. The mandate will remain in place until the quarantine percentage drops below 4% for 2 consecutive weeks.

The mask policy will be reviewed monthly by the Lakeland Board of Education.
