Illinois appellate court: No ruling on COVID-19 restraining order

SPRINGFIELD (Capitol News Illinois) – Gov. JB Pritzker’s administration said Friday it will ask the Illinois Supreme Court for an “expedited review” of an appellate court’s decision not to rule on a lower court order that invalidated COVID-19 mitigation measures for roughly 170 school districts that were parties in a set of consolidated lawsuits.

Meridian to continue with mask mandates

[media-credit name="CONNOR STEINKAMP PHOTO" align="aligncenter" width="686"][/media-credit] MACON -- While a recent court decision ruled in favor of more than 700 parents, Meridian schools are being steadfast in continuing to comply with the mask mandates and COVID-19 mitigations. Meridian Schools was not a named party in the lawsuit, hence the district's insistence to continue the mandates and mitigations.
