A growing number of DuPage County school districts and colleges will require students and employees -- vaccinated or not -- to wear masks when classes start later this month.
Several elementary school districts are the latest to embrace indoor masking rules, falling in line with state and federal health guidelines.
The school year is fast approaching as the highly contagious delta variant of the coronavirus takes hold across the state, and children under 12 are still not eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.
