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.
No one is 'scrambling,' whatever THAT means. Another inane headline from CBS...😒

Judge's ruling against Illinois school mask mandate 'has potential to shut our schools down': IEAAn Illinois judge has granted a temporary restraining order in a lawsuit over the state's school mask mandate, though it was not immediately clear which schools it applied to. That is, Teacher's Unions will shutdown schools. That would be a dumb decision by the Illinois Education Association as it will do more harm to our kids! This headline is purposefully misleading. For those who don’t take the time to read the article, they are only referring to lack of teachers and it being hard to keep individual schools open IF too many are out with Covid. It never mentions a strike.
