LOS ANGELES—Students at Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) are required to wear higher-grade, non-cloth masks starting Monday, Jan. 24.

Students must now wear “well-fitting, non-cloth masks with a nose wire” at all times, indoors and outdoors. All employees were already required to wear surgical-grade masks.
