LOS ANGELES — With mask mandates easing, some parents and schools will have much to think about in the coming weeks.
After Friday night at 11:59 p.m., California will lift its indoor K-12 and childcare mask mandate, and it’ll be up to school and childcare operators to decide for themselves their own masking policy.
Health officials are strongly recommending masks still be worn in indoor public settings, but school operators will have their own power to retain a mask order or to make wearing them optional.
