NEW ORLEANS — School districts in the area are keeping a close eye on the concerning rise in COVID-19 cases.
It comes as officials work to figure out how to bring students back to campus safely. On Tuesday, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended those two and up wear a mask in school (whether vaccinated or not).
NOLA Public Schools say they're working closely with the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH), the city's health department and their own medical advisors to draft a plan for the upcoming school year.
