A status hearing before federal district court judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr. was held today in the case of parents suing the state to allow mask mandates in schools, Actions News 5 reports. Crenshaw previously granted a preliminary injunction of the state law, which bans mask mandates by school districts unless virus caseloads reach certain levels. In related news, Gov. Bill Lee today filed an appeal of Crenshaw’s ruling with the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. In December, Lee filed a motion for a stay of the injunction.
