OC Schools to Follow Mask Mandate as COVID Surges, Some Parents Rally Against Rule |
School districts throughout Orange County plan to enforce the mask mandate from state officials when students return to the classroom this Fall, while they face pushback from some parents and groups who want kids to drop the masks.
So far, it looks like districts’ opinions on the issue are split, as some say they will follow the state’s mask mandate and other school boards are calling on the state to repeal it entirely.

Why some schools are mandating Covid tests while others aren’t |
As students in California prepare to return to in-person instruction, schools are piecing together Covid testing and vaccination measures that are as varied as the state itself.
The state is urging schools to test students and staff regularly and encourage everyone on campus who’s eligible to get vaccinated. But neither vaccinations nor testing is required, and schools have flexibility as to how they implement measures to prevent Covid outbreaks.

Get Ready For LAUSD’s First Day: We Answer 8 Big Questions About Reopening Schools In A Pandemic |
“Normal” is not the word Dr. Naomi Bardach would use to describe the upcoming school year in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Students and teachers will still have to wear masks and take weekly COVID-19 tests, whether they’re vaccinated or not. LAUSD is still paying for a stepped-up cleaning regimen on its campuses.
Most students will attend classes on-campus, five days a week, six hours per day.
With LAUSD kicking off its new school year on August 16, we’ve got answers to important questions about what to expect.
