IRVINE, Calif.—The Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) Board of Education voted unanimously on July 14 to require that students wear face coverings when schools reopen, contradicting recommendations made by the Orange County Board of Education (OCBE) a day earlier.

“We are following guidelines that have been passed down by health expert agencies,” Superintendent Terry Walker said during the meeting.
