Updated 8/3/2021 7:35 PM Libertyville Elementary District 70 again has reversed course and will require all students, teachers, staff members and visitors to wear masks when indoors at all schools and district offices. In a letter to parents Tuesday afternoon, Superintendent Matt Barbini cited several reasons for the decision, including revised CDC guidance and the opinion of the district's liability carrier that masking was the only advisable strategy.
