The districts that sued to block Abbott’s ban include the schools of Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth and Houston.
“Absent this order, the school districts and community college district will be unable to adopt a face-covering requirement to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which threatens to overwhelm public schools and could result in more extreme measures such as school closures that have already begun in several Texas school districts,” Mauzy wrote in her ruling.
