Members of the Los Angeles teachers union have ratified an agreement to make masking optional in the nation's second-largest school system, the union announced Monday night.
Under the agreement, the indoor masking requirement for students and staff will be lifted Wednesday for staff and students ranging from early transitional kindergarten through 12th grade and also including adult school and work sites without students.
Among those who cast ballots, 84% voted yes and 16% voted no.
