Due to the numbers as well as the county being at high risk for community transmission, LCSD1 on Thursday began requiring all students and staff to mask up indoors.

Superintendent Dr. Margaret Crespo says the mask mandate will continue as long as the county remains at high or substantial risk of community transmission, as designated through the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department.
