One Million Masks for Schools

The Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and the Louisiana Department of Education say they have partnered to provide a million masks for schools in the state. Education Superintendent Cade Brumley says that’s enough to provide one reusable mask for every school employee and student. Physical classes in seven districts are set to begin later this week. Brumley says the masks will be washable and durable and will be distributed to public, charter, and non-public schools. He also says there’s no doubt there will be additional expenses like providing additional PPE throughout the semester, but it must get done. Anyone entering a Louisiana school campus during the fall semester will be required to wear a mask.
