Laramie County School District#1

Board members voted on Monday night to make the masks voluntary as of Jan. 24, although their use will still be encouraged.

All activities are canceled, and buses will not be running.

The district on Friday reported that 59 students and seven staff members have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past week, two more cases than the previous week.

The district's Board of Trustees last week imposed an indoor face mask mandate which took effect on Thursday.

Motorists are being reminded to obey traffic laws in school zones, and Cheyenne Police are expected to be paying special attention to traffic near schools.
