Maskless Janesville school officials criticized while COVID outbreak sends Washington Elementary students home


JANESVILLE -- As an entire classroom of Janesville elementary school children was sent home Wednesday due to a COVID-19 outbreak, two school district officials were criticized for not wearing masks as they require of all students, teachers and staff.

Soon after the Janesville School Board met Tuesday night, a photo began circulating on social media showing Superintendent Steve Pophal and School Board Vice President Jim Millard seated close to one another at a desk inside the Educational Services Center unmasked.

A photo was taken of them talking, and that photo was referred to by parents at the meeting who oppose the district’s current universal mask mandate.

Board meetings are held at the center, 527 S. Franklin St.

Patrick Gasper, the district’s public information officer, told The Gazette that the meeting between Pophal and Millard occurred in Pophal’s office after they learned that school board President Cathy Myers was unexpectedly unable to attend the meeting. Pophal was prepping Millard to lead the board meeting, Gasper said.
