Pritzker also applauded the Illinois Supreme Court, which earlier in the day sent a case challenging the mandate back to a downstate court. The high court had refused to take up the appeal after finding that an order by a Springfield judge that caused chaos and confusion in Illinois schools over masking was no longer in effect.
The Illinois Supreme Court order issued late Friday found that a Springfield judge’s Feb. 4 order preventing statewide enforcement of the mask mandate should be vacated because a lower appellate court recently found the case to be moot. The end of the state’s school mask mandate is arriving a week after an appellate court sidelined the governor’s attempt to enforce his COVID-19 mitigation orders for Illinois schools statewide.Pritzker had appealed a temporary restraining order granted by Sangamon County Circuit Judge Raylene Grischow on Feb. 4 against CPS and scores of other Illinois school districts, but the appellate court dismissed the appeal.
Chicago resident Brendan Hehir said he was “very disappointed” Martinez was not in Springfield for the court proceedings, and instead, was represented by an attorney for CPS.
