Alexander City Schools will continue to require masks through May 1. 

Alexander City Schools will continue to require masks on buses and in school buildings until May 1, school superintendent Dr. Keith Lankford announced Thursday.

Starting Saturday, Alex City Schools will begin its "phasing out approach," in which social distancing requirements will be shortened from six feet to three (per CDC recommendation) and masks will be optional during outdoor activities, Lankford said. While face coverings are still required indoors, indoor activity capacity will increase to 75% and outdoor activity capacity to 100%.
