A Texas judge on Tuesday approved a temporary restraining order preventing the enforcement of Gov. Greg Abbott's ban on mask mandates in schools, just hours after leaders from San Antonio and Bexar County filed a challenge.
A spokesman for the governor's office said they are confident the judge's decision will be overturned on appeal.
Some local school districts across the state are pushing back against Abbott's May executive order that Texas schools can’t require masks for students, with one advocacy group suing to block the order and some of the state’s biggest districts issuing mask mandates anyway or indicating they want to.
Dallas Independent School District officials announced Monday morning that they will require students and teachers to wear masks on campus. Austin ISD’s superintendent also announced late Monday that masks would be required, according to KXAN-TV.
