An Illinois judge granted a temporary restraining order Friday that stops mask requirements for students in school districts the filed suits, and Gov. JB Pritzker’s office said the state will challenge the ruling.
The ruling from Sangamon County Circuit Court Judge Raylene Grischow came after parents filed lawsuits against over 150 school districts, the governor and the Illinois State Board of Education. Grischow granted the temporary restraining order after hearing oral arguments earlier in February. The order says defendants temporarily can’t order school districts to require students and teachers to wear masks, unless there is a quarantine order issued from a local health department.
