According to data from the US Census Bureau from the end of March, Wyoming is currently the state with the highest rates of vaccine hesitancy, at 33.2%, and the only state currently in the 30s.
Following the Natrona County board of trustees decision to apply for a variance to remove the mask mandate for the remainder of the school year, over 130 people showed up to express their objection to the mask mandate.
“I feel like if we just go in without our masks and go to class just like normal, that’s going to make a bigger impact than going out to the front of the school with signs and having the threat of it getting violent.”
In a narrow 5 to 4 decision, the Natrona County School District board of trustees voted against removing a mask mandate for the remainder of the school year.
