Judge dismisses mask and exclusion lawsuit against most schools, state dismissed, saying cases are moot – Center Square

Friday, Sangamon County Judge Raylene Grischow said “Plaintiffs did not sustain their burden” pertaining to most of the defendants. “Here, no relief can be granted as the school districts do not have any policies that mandate masks or exclusion from school due to being a close contact,” she wrote. “The new joint guidance … that supersedes all prior COVID-19 guidance, is exactly that - guidance.”
