Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) issued a mask mandate starting Monday, Aug. 9, for all staff, students, and visitors inside all schools and buildings, regardless of vaccination status.

“This decision is based on the strong recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health about masking being a critical way to protect children who cannot yet get vaccinated, along with others who are not vaccinated,” the school said in a statement.
