May 24. Gov. Cooper’s update on face coverings continues to require all adults and students to wear face coverings indoors in school facilities.

—Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools is enforcing requirements around face coverings indoors for staff, students and guests in schools, office settings and on CMS transportation, unless an exception applies.

—Face coverings are no longer required outdoors, but they may be worn if individuals are more comfortable doing so.

—Face coverings are required for students and staff during CMS graduation ceremonies at off-site venues, including Bojangles’ Coliseum, Ovens Auditorium and the Charlotte Convention Center.

Families and guests attending graduation this week will be expected to follow the venue’s safety protocols and policies. CMS strongly encourages families and guests to wear face coverings.
