IHSA Says Schools Can Decide How to Handle Masks

(Undated) – Following last week’s court ruling regarding mask mandates in schools, the IHSA says schools can decide their own policies. The IHSA board said they are talking to lawyers to determine how to proceed with the temporary restraining order on COVID mitigations in select schools around the state. Until a final decision is made, schools are able to use their own local policies to determine how to handle COVID-19 during sporting events.
