Hillsboro, IL. (ECWd) –

A Montgomery County Judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order today against the Hillsboro School District, which applies through November 2, 2021, as it pertains to “devices” (mask mandates) imposed by the District.

A status conference is scheduled for November 2, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

This Order applies to every student in the School District, and a Class Certification is also included.

From the Order:

  • While any and all students of the District are on school property, the Defendants, are enjoined from requiring any or all of the Children to utilize any type of device, includil1g a mask, for the purposes of allegedly preventing the spread of an infectious disease unless the parent or legal guardian of a student consents or there is a lawful order of quarantine having been issued against a particular student from the local health department, provided however, the School may still isolate symptomatic students pursuant to applicable law.

Similar to the Carlyle TRO, the use of “devices” such as a mask, fall within the definition of a Quarantine, and the Health Department must obtain either consent or a court order for Quarantine.
