BROKEN BOW, Okla. — An Oklahoma school district announced a policy where it will charge middle and high school students $1 for a mask if they come to school without one.
On Monday, Rector Johnson Middle School and Broken Bow High School posted the new policy on Facebook.
The post says if a student does not come to school with a mask, they will have to buy a mask from the school for $1.
If the student does not have a dollar to buy one, they will be asked to call a parent or guardian to bring them a mask or bring them a dollar to purchase one.
The school says they have been very accommodating and patient with students as they came to school without a mask.
The school has previously issued reusable masks for students but they now say the students have depleted their resources.
The new policy went into effect on Tuesday.
