Updated Mask Mandates for Your Child’s School District in San Diego

California's mask mandate for schools officially ended on Saturday.

California, along with Oregon and Washington, earlier this month announced the March 12 lift date, the requirement officially expired at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.

The new guidance makes face coverings a recommendation rather than a requirement at schools, regardless of vaccination status but individual school districts have the option to go beyond the state’s policy and require masks.
