Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) said that it will, at least for now, keep its students masked up even after the end of California’s statewide mask mandate for indoor public places.

This Monday marks the first day many students in California come to school without having to wear a mask. For over 600,000 students of LAUSD, however, an indoor mask mandate remains in place as a result of negotiations between the school district and its teachers’ union.
