As you are aware, the City of Austin and Travis County have issued a joint mask order under Ch. 418 of the Texas Government Code. As Gov. Abbott's order GA-38 suspends those provisions under Ch. 418, we have received legal guidance that the order may be without authority. At this time, Pflugerville ISD will not mandate masks, but we will highly encourage them, along with vaccinations, to curb this pandemic and protect our staff and students.

So far, Pflugerville is also going with the Governor.
I'm not sure where all the legality lies, but I'm glad we're on this side of it for now.
