A temporary restraining order that was filed last month against the Carlyle Community Unit School District #1 for students to not have to be required to wear masks has expired after a Clinton County judge vacated the order at a hearing last Friday.
Judge Don Sheafor vacated the temporary restraining order that was filed against the district last month, after the school's attorney, Luke Feeney, stated that the order was not valid because the Governor, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) were not named in the suit.

Last month, Sheafor ruled that students in the entire Carlyle School District cannot be forced to wear masks without an official quarantine order from the health department.
Sheafor issued a temporary restraining order against the school district for 30 days after a Carlyle parent filed suit against the mask mandates, stating that they had no authority to require their children to wear masks, unless there was a quarantine order from the Clinton County Health Department.
