Parents disrupt Williamson County Schools Board meeting on mask mandate amid COVID cases surge

The Williamson County Schools Board of Education in Texas, U.S, voted Tuesday to require masks for students, staff and visitors at the elementary school level inside buildings and buses.

The decision came after an emotionally charged four-hour meeting with frequent disruptions by crowd members opposed to mask requirements and tensions running high among all.

A majority of people who attended the meeting were maskless and interjected with personal comments dozens of times throughout the meeting.
