QUINCY (WGEM) 鈥� A Quincy resident has filed a lawsuit against the Quincy Public School Board over the requirement to wear a face mask and submit to temperature checks to attend in-person learning.
The plaintiff, Roni Quinn, is the parent of a fourth grade student in the Quincy Public School District.
In the lawsuit filed Friday morning, Quinn alleges that she, and her child, will suffer irreparable injuries based on the implementation of the mask and temperature check mandates because they infringe on the child's right to an in-person education within the public school.
Quinn's lawsuit goes on to allege that the mandates are not lawful as they were not implemented by legislature.
Quinn states that the requirement of a face mask to be admitted to a public school building is beyond the board's authority or otherwise in violation of Illinois law.
Quinn is being represented by attorney Thomas DeVore, who recently filed a聽聽accusing him of abusing his emergency聽powers with his Stay-at-Home order.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday at 11 a.m.
