The Springfield Public School District says it plans to keep its mask mandate in place until Christmas break.
This comes after State Attorney General Eric Schmitt sent a letter earlier this week warning school districts and public health departments to stop enforcing COVID-19 related health orders.
Schmitt cited a Cole County judge’s ruling that says health orders issued by local authorities under state health regulations were null and void.
The Springfield School District says they planned to stop their COVID-19 health protocols in January.
