An Illinois appellate court dismissed Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s request to overturn a Sangamon County judge’s order that lifted the mask mandate in 168 school districts across Illinois.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker announces that the state’s indoor mask mandate will be lifted on Feb. 28 during a press conference on Feb. 9, 2022.
While members of that committee said they did not want to act until the appellate court made a decision on Pritzker’s request to stop the order lifting the mask mandate from taking effect while the lawsuit proceeds, their decision appears to have doomed the appeal itself. Justice Thomas Harris concurred with Turner’s decision, while Justice Lisa Holder White concurred in part and dissented in part.
The decision does not apply to Chicago Public Schools, where an agreement between the district and the Chicago Teachers Union will require students to wear masks until August.Pritzker on Wednesday said students in Illinois schools should still be wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 because of an executive order that he issued was still in effect. The decision by the appellate court rejected that argument.
