Release received at 3:30PM / Statement by the Northern Illinois Public Health Consortium (NIPHC) on Temporary Restraining Order suspending mandated masking for schools
The Local Health Departments of the Northern Illinois Public Health Consortium (NIPHC) are aware of the most recent judicial ruling impacting schools in our local jurisdictions and throughout the state of Illinois and recognizes the independent authority of local school districts to determine what mitigations will be adopted in their schools in accordance with the Governor’s Executive Orders. NIPHC recommends local school districts to continue to adopt a layered approach to mitigation to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 among staff, students, and the community including vaccination, masking, and isolation of ill individuals.
NIPHC Local Health Departments will continue to conduct case investigations for COVID-19 and issue quarantine and isolation orders in certain circumstances under their authority as outlined in Section 2 of the Department of Public Health Act and Illinois Administrative Code – Part 690 Control of Communicable Diseases Code in partnership with local schools in its jurisdiction.
Update at 5:30PM, Editor’s Note / After these meeting notices were posted at noon today, a mass of inquiries arrived seeking information about the end result of this afternoon’s 203 BOE meeting. We regret to say we were unable to attend the meeting.
Regarding the Fri., Feb. 4, court ruling stating that the mandates imposed by the Governor, ISBE and IDPH are invalid; a large number of parents said they’re sending a brief letter to their child’s school stating their choice is to send their child to school mask-free.
A copy of the 29-page Temporary Restraining Order (TR0) ruling from Friday is available online.
We’re told local social media forums also are dealing with comments, inquiries and conversations.
While preparing updates, School District 204 also sent its response to the litigation. Click here for more information about the decision for School District 204.
Briefly stated, at this time, both School District 203 and School District 204 will continue the mask mandate as COVID-19 Mitigations.
