LOS ANGELES (KNX) — Los Angeles Unified School District announced on Friday that it had reached an agreement with teachers' unions to lift indoor masking requirements for students and staff at schools.
Starting Wednesday, the district will "align with the guidance from the State of California and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to make masking strongly recommended" but not compulsory at all elementary, secondary, and adult school campuses and in all non-school district locations.
"I strongly support ending the indoor mask requirement and am committed to continuing to uphold our science-based approach to COVID-19 safety and protocols," Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho said in a statemnet on Friday.
"Now that this important issue is behind us, it is time to focus on each student's full academic potential," he added.
