With Gov. John Bel Edwards state-wide mask mandate taking effect this week, Louisiana students will once again head back to school wearing masks.
The mandate applies to anyone 5 and up in all public places, which includes K-12 schools and college campuses. Folks will be required to wear a mask starting Wednesday, and the mandate is initially scheduled to last until Sept. 1. This decision upends the previous notion that school districts would get to determine their COVID-19 mask requirements for the 2021-22 school year.
Edwards reinstated the mandate in response to the state s fourth surge of COVID cases, which is largely driven by the delta variant. According to Edwards, folks under 29 are driving the surge in cases, and young people ages 12-18 are a huge part.

For the first time in a long time, we are seeing inflation almost across the board,” Burkholder said. Burkholder said right now is the perfect storm caused by supply chain disruptions from the pandemic and the pent-up demand from consumers. Production issues, things that have been shut down are now not ramping up quick enough and then you have the federal government putting unprecedented stimulus into the economy, Burkholder said.
