An Illinois judge has granted a temporary restraining order in a lawsuit over the state's school mask mandate. Now schools are deciding what to do.
- District 67 in Lake Forest:Gov. JB Pritzker said late Friday he is seeking an expedited appeal. In the past, he has been successful in overturning similar challenges to his use of emergency powers. But for now, this ruling is significant and could impact thousands of schools.
In granting them a temporary restraining order, Sangamon County Circuit Court Judge Raylene DeWitte Grischow said the mandates violate the plaintiffs'"due process rights under the law which provide them a meaningful opportunity to object to any such mitigations." "She's saying that what the governor and his agencies are doing is invalid," DeVore said."So if school districts want to do their own thing, do their own thing."
The Attorney General is seeking an expedited appeal from the Fourth District Illinois Appellate Court.
