But it's up to schools to seek charges, and the governor's office expects that will be rare
Utah students as young as kindergartners can be criminally charged for not wearing masks in schools in order to protect against the spread of COVID-19, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
What are the details?
And while the paper said the office of Republican Gov. Gary Herbert confirmed the potential for K-12 students and staff getting misdemeanors for violating the mask mandate, spokeswoman Anna Lehnardt said it's up to schools to seek such charges — and that it's expected they will be rarities.
"It's enforced on a district and superintendent level," she added to the Tribune. "But we're not thinking, 'Let's slap a bunch of kids with misdemeanors.'"

Sure got themselves a mandate pretty fast. How about 30 days in the corner. Or hand smacked with a ruler 10 licks. That’s right they did away with such abuse years back. Time out for 30 minutes??
