Before the state supreme court ruled the school mask mandate moot, local school districts were at the mercy of the pandemic and politics. 

Pawnee School District Superintendent Tim Kratochvil says his district went through quite the journey. 

Kratochvil says the kids are happy to choose whether or not they want to wear a mask. 

He says that the mask wearing of the last two years could have had negative impacts on children’s learning. 

Ultimately, school is for the kids.
