Masks to remain optional on Deer Valley Unified campuses

District that serves Glendale, Peoria, Phoenix not impacted by recent court decision

While an Arizona judge ruled Monday that a ban on public school mask mandates is unconstitutional, Deer Valley Unified School District will continue to make masks optional on campus, according to a district spokesperson.

The Monday ruling freed statewide public school leaders to require students, staff and visitors to wear masks on campus. The law banning that authority was scheduled to take effect Wednesday of this week.

DVUSD, however, continues to require masks for all students, drivers and monitors on buses, as mandated by the Centers for Disease Control and the Federal Transportation Security Administration.
