In total, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued at least 15 districts after seeking action against Elgin, Galveston, Richardson, Round Rock, Sherman and Spring districts last week over mask mandates
A Texas school district that included masks as part of its dress code has been hit with a temporary restraining order.
In total he's sued at least 15 districts after seeking action against Elgin, Galveston, Richardson, Round Rock, Sherman and Spring districts last week over mask mandates.A Lamar County district court issued the temporary restraining order, prohibiting Paris ISD from enforcing the mandate as a result.
"The school district is complying as of right now, with the court order. Regardless of what the Attorney General does, please continue to wear masks. It's what's keeping our students and our faculty safe," Eichelbaum said. "We've seen that it's done a tremendous job in minimizing the spread of COVID-19. At our campuses, we have one of the lowest rates of COVID absence and we believe that's partly because of masks.
Midway Independent School District, which is in the Waco area, was sued in Tuesday's rash of lawsuits, but the district said that they don't even have a mask mandate in place.
