The Superintendent of Passaic Public Schools Sandra Montanez-Diodonet sent a letter to parents and staff Tuesday stating masks are required effective Dec. 21.
"Please be advised that as per our Board Policy No. 5141.10, during periods of High Activity Level as published in the NJDOH COVID-19 Activity Level Report, mask-wearing is required," read the letter, which was shared by what appears to be the school district’s Twitter account.

The letter came after state health officials and the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention reported Passaic being among 10 counties that reached "high" community levels of COVID-19 in New Jersey.
