LAS CRUCES - Students who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 will have to wear masks in public secondary schools in New Mexico to start the 2021-2022 school year. Students, teachers, school staff, visitors and volunteers who are vaccinated will not have to wear masks in secondary schools. Masks will be required for everyone in elementary schools, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will not be required outdoors for any grade level, and schools are encouraged to maximize their use of outdoor learning. These notes and other masking guidance from the New Mexico Public Education Department were released in an updated toolkit Monday.
