The decision is included in updated guidance for statewide K-12 school systems.
Dubbed “Ready to Achieve,” the plan relaxes unprecedented COVID-19 precautions that swept through public and private schools last year. It relies on the Louisiana Department of Health and the Children’s Hospital of New Orleans’ review of new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
The 16-page document lists dozens of protocols, health and safety standards and social distancing measures.
Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley was careful not to portray the 2021-2022 safeguards as authoritative directives.

Louisiana said goodbye to its only four-term governor, Edwin Edwards, over the weekend as he was eulogized Sunday at the Old State Capitol during a private funeral service.
His legacy was tarnished by corruption convictions related to the issuing of casino licenses for which he served more than eight years in federal prison.
The charismatic Cajun rogue was the state’s last populist Democratic governor in the tradition of Huey Long and Earl Long, serving consecutive terms from 1972 to 1980 and single terms from 1984 to 1988 and 1992 to 1996.
Before that he served as a state senator from Crowley and then represented Acadiana in Congress from 1965 to 1972.
