Face Masks

The Paulding County School District gained national news coverage after images surfaced showing hundreds of students not wearing face masks. The school district had strongly encouraged staff and students to wear a face mask but did not require it. [5] A student at North Paulding High School took the now viral pictures, and was initially suspended. The suspension was later revoked. [6] 3 staff and 6 students later tested positive. [7]
