Masks in school goes to court
Although the court has not ruled on the legal arguments presented as to Texas school district requiring the use of masks on public campuses despite a gubernatorial order to the contrary, the Texas Supreme Court did not order the districts to comply with Gov. Greg Abbott’s maskless mandate at hearing held Aug. 19.
From the Texas Tribune:
“For cities, counties and school districts that have defied Gov. Greg Abbott by issuing mask mandates in public schools, the Thursday ruling is a victory on a technicality: The high court left in place a Travis County judge’s temporary restraining orders against Abbott’s ban on mask mandates. The court’s order cited a provision that typically requires matters to go to an appellate court before it reaches the state's highest civil court.”
