Late yesterday evening we shared that an Illinois judge ruled on a lawsuit filed by more than 700 parents across the state that challenged state-mandated COVID-19 mitigations. Since we have learned the judge ruled that school districts in Illinois may not continue to follow mandates requiring masking and our current rules for quarantine.
At this point there are still many unanswered questions that we hope to have answered in the next 24 hours and when we do we will report out to you again.
At this point there is no plan to have a special or emergency meeting on this matter because it is clear the district is under order to not follow current mandates from the State of Illinois and IDPH. The courts ruling would not constitute a valid reason to hold an emergency meeting, but of course this topic will be discussed at future meetings and if the need arises proper notification will be given prior to any meetings discussing this or any other important matter.
More information will be shared with our community on this matter later this weekend.
