Judge Drops Dozens Of School Districts From COVID Lawsuit

A Sangamon County judge has dismissed dozens of school districts… and the Pritzker administration… from a lawsuit over school mask mandates.
 
Attorney Thomas DeVore, who is now the Republican nominee for Illinois Attorney General, brought the case against 145 school districts and the state, alleging they had overstepped their authority with mask requirements. Judge Raylene Grischow dismissed the case against more than 100 districts which filed affidavits stating that they have no current mask or exclusion policies, which the judge says makes the lawsuit moot.
 
DeVore says he will continue to pursue the case against the remaining 35 districts which failed to file such an affidavit.
