The Archdiocese of Chicago sent a letter to parents and students Saturday that said they are"closely monitoring the case."
In granting them a temporary restraining order, Sangamon County Circuit Court Judge Raylene DeWitte Grischow said the mandates violate the plaintiffs'"due process rights under the law which provide them a meaningful opportunity to object to any such mitigations.
"The grave consequence of this misguided decision is that schools in these districts no longer have sufficient tools to keep students and staff safe while COVID-19 continues to threaten our communities - and this may force schools to go remote," said Governor JB Pritzker."This shows yet again that the mask mandate and school exclusion protocols are essential tools to keep schools open and everyone safe.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pritzker administration has implemented mitigations and programming to protect the health and safety of students, teachers, and staff in schools.

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.
