Last night, Oak Ridge Schools became the first district to require masks for everyone. The decision comes after Anderson County saw a sharp rise in active cases yesterday afternoon. Superintendent Dr. Bruce Borchers said in a statement students and staff are expected and will be required to wear face coverings when physical distancing is not possible. He added students and staff who have a medical condition that makes the wearing of a face covering problematic are asked to consult their school principal and such needs will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
