What are the protocols in place if COVID-19 cases should rise and mitigation procedures take effect?

Please click here for the 2024-2025 Safe Return Protocols should a rise in COVID-19 cases occur.

Does PTAA have a mask policy?

Per GA-36, school systems cannot require students or staff to wear a mask. GA-36 addresses government-mandated face coverings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other authority to require protective equipment, including masks, in an employment setting is not necessarily affected by GA-36.

School systems must allow individuals to wear a mask if they choose to do so.
