CPS says students must attend school on Monday with masks on.
Mark Weaver of Bloomington said this is a win for hundreds of families whose arguments were heard in the Springfield court in January.
CPS responded to Sangamon County District Court Judge Raylene Grischow’s decision by saying, “The court’s current ruling does not prohibit CPS from exercising its authority to continue its COVID-19 mitigation policies and procedures, including universal masking by students and staff and vaccination and testing requirements for staff members.
“It could potentially shut schools down if the school administrators think that based upon his ruling, the kids are at risk and the teachers are at risk. And that could easily mean, ‘Hey listen, we’re going back to remote,'” said CBS 2 Legal Analyst Irv Miller. “I think the attorney general’s going to file an expedited appeal in the Fourth District Appellate Court to try to get this overturned, and I also think there’s going to be emergency school district meetings in the next day or two,” said Miller.
