It did not look like many high school students wore a mask Wednesday morning after the Vermilion Parish Superintendent left the choice up to the students.
On Monday, Gov. John Bel Edwards announced he will lift Louisiana’s statewide mask mandate in all settings except for K-12 schools. He said in a press conference that he is leaving it up to each school district to decide if the district wants to mandate wearing a mask at school or not.
