A judge in downstate Sangamon County has issued a ruling in favor of parents in a lawsuit filed last fall to end the state’s mask mandate.
Sangamon County Circuit County Judge Raylene De Witte Grischow issued the ruling late Friday afternoon, granting a temporary restraining order to stop districts from enacting the governor’s school mask mandate.
The lawsuit was filed in October by downstate attorney Thomas DeVore on behalf of parents in more than 145 school districts across the state, including Wilmington and Elwood.
