FACE COVERING EXEMPTION REQUESTS REED CITY AREA PUBLIC SCHOOLS FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2020 Parents: Please submit any Face Covering/Mask Waiver Exemption Requests to building principals as soon as possible. The District Return to School Roadmap plan requires a review of all medical requests prior to implementing them. A medical request also creates a need for the District to initiate or process consideration of the request under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
