Wolf Administration Files an Appeal to Judges Order Of Mask Mandate Being Over Turned

Pennsylvania’s school mask mandate remains in place, even after a judge ruled Wednesday that it is “void and unenforceable. Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration says that it quickly filed an appeal to Commonwealth Court Judge Christine Fizzano Cannon’s ruling, and that stops the mandate from being overturned.” in the ruling Cannon said the mask mandate for K-12 students didn’t comply with rules for setting regulations and was adopted without an existing disaster emergency declared by the governor. The Commonwealth Court sided 4-1 with the ranking Republican in the state Senate and others who sued to challenge the masking order that took effect in early September. Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday announced he’ll return authority over masking decisions to local school districts in January.
