Several Richland County schools districts are asking students and staff to wear masks following a surge in COVID-19 cases locally.
The Lucas schools, who were closed on Tuesday, along with Plymouth-Shiloh and the Mansfield City Schools join Ontario in requiring masks in school buildings.
Lucas reported student absent rates of 10% and positive COVID-19 cases have more than doubled since the first two weeks of school and there has been a significant rise in student quarantines.
