Exemption Information
The Douglas County Health Public Health Order (effective 10/9/21) allows parents to sign mask exemption forms for their children if they deem masks to have negative physical or mental effects on their children. It also allows adults in a school setting, including staff and parent volunteers, to file the same exemption for themselves.
You can read the Public Health Order here.
Instructions for Filing an Exemption
There are three steps to filing an exemption.
1) Download the TEMPLATE first and fill it out completely.

- Please note: If you are a staff member and a parent volunteer and want to file an exemption, you need only fill out the staff exemption form.
