The school mask mandate legal rolller coaster continues to be a wild ride.  A Sangamon County judge issued a temporary restraining order Friday on Governor J.B. Pritzker’s mask mandate executive order for public school students.  Starting today, Hillsboro CUSD3 will not be requiring students or employees to wear masks. The State is seeking an emergency stay and will appeal the decision, so things could change in the coming days and weeks.  Litchfield is also going mask optional, although masks are still required on buses per federal law.   Nokomis is mask optional for now, while continuing other efforts to limit transmission of the virus   Greenville and Highland is also in the mask optional crowd until new developments in the courts.   Edwardsville is going in a different direction, maintaining their mask mandate while only allowing students who were plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the state to go to school mask free.
