Some Illinois schools were sent scrambling this weekend after a downstate judge put a temporary restraining order on Gov. JB Pritzker’s mask mandate.
Meanwhile, the Illinois Attorney General’s Office has already filed an emergency stay on the ruling to pause the restraining order on mask mandates — meaning the ruling is in limbo.

Geneva Community Unit School District 304 has also opted for an emergency day Monday and will not have instruction.
