Operative words
While some may be looking for County-wide mandates, neither the Bucks County Commissioners nor the BCHD can dictate to independently-elected school boards or school district superintendents how to manage their schools or students.... Any BCHD school guidance is strictly advisory... Parents are empowered to make choices based on those concerns, including masking their children regardless of school district masking policies.
