Schools in Tippecanoe County are changing masking protocols for the upcoming school year following the release of new guidance from the CDC and a spike in COVID-19 cases across the state and country.
Last week Purdue University announced it would be mandating masks for the upcoming school year. On Monday, the West Lafayette Community School Corporation expanded its masking requirements from grades K-6 to K-12. And on Tuesday, the Lafayette School Corporation announced it would also be requiring masks after an initial plan to make them optional.
Lafayette School Corporation Superintendent Les Huddle said there is disappointment that the pandemic has not been left behind.
