At least nine of the 20 largest school districts in the US making masks optional for students CNN 5 hrs ago By Elizabeth Stuart, CNN © Carolyn Cole/Los Angeles Times/Getty Images Students wearing masks head to lunch break during summer school at Hooper Avenue Elementary School in Los Angeles on June 23.
As the new school year quickly approaches, at least nine of the 20 largest school districts in the US are making masks optional for students in school while another nine are requiring masks.
Two districts remain undecided with just weeks left until schools plan to open their doors.
With varying rules for indoors and outdoors, and with vaccines only available to children older than 12, back-to-school is not as clear cut as parents might have hoped it would be. And whatever the rules are today, the districts are making it clear that they will continue to change their guidance according to local public health conditions even after the school year starts.

California’s electric car revolution, designed to save the planet, also unleashes a toll on it Source: By Evan Halper, Los Angeles Times • Posted: Wednesday, July 21, 2021
The precious cargo on the ship docked in San Diego Bay was strikingly small for a vessel built to drag oil rigs out to sea. Machines tethered to this hulking ship had plucked rocks the size of a child’s fist from the ocean floor thousands of miles into the Pacific.
The mission was delicate and controversial with broad implications for the planet.
Investors are betting tens of millions of dollars that these black nodules packed with metals used in electric car batteries are the ticket for the United States to recapture supremacy over the green economy and to keep up with a global transportation revolution started by California.
