An Illinois school mask mandate ruling has many districts forced to decide whether to keep masking requirements in place or make them optional.
The Archdiocese of Chicago sent a letter to parents and students Saturday that said they are"closely monitoring the case."
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.
"The grave consequence of this misguided decision is that schools in these districts no longer have sufficient tools to keep students and staff safe while COVID-19 continues to threaten our communities - and this may force schools to go remote," said Governor JB Pritzker."This shows yet again that the mask mandate and school exclusion protocols are essential tools to keep schools open and everyone safe.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pritzker administration has implemented mitigations and programming to protect the health and safety of students, teachers, and staff in schools. To facilitate safe in-person learning, the administration has provided schools across the state with 3.8 million masks for students, teachers, and staff as of January 12th.
