Operative words

These guidelines, based on the recommendations of the Louisiana Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control, are not state-issued requirements, but recommendations for local K-12 leadership to consider in adopting their own opening plans for 2021-2022. BESE has issued no mandates and approved no policies related to masking or distancing in schools for the coming year.

Enforcement

n/a

Notes

Establishes that the Aug. 4, 2021 statewide indoor mask mandate, not a BESE rule, governed school masking in Q3 2021.
