Personal choice was the topic of discussion for a very large group of parents and community members that gathered outside the Alexandria School District 206 offices the morning of Thursday, Sept. 2. The group gathered for a rally for "truth and choice," and to voice its displeasure with the recent move requiring face coverings for K-6 students at the district for at least the first two weeks of school. Parents were informed of the decision via email on Aug. 27.
Face coverings will be required for K-6 students when they are inside school buildings beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 7 and they are strongly encouraged for 7th through 12th-grade students.
The foundation’s goal is to generate and distribute resources to Alexandria Public Schools that enrich teaching, inspire learning and enhance opportunities for students
The competition included a fact drill round, three individual rounds and three team rounds. Both Alexandria Public Schools’ teams finished in the top three with several students taking individual honors.
