Gov. Laura Kelly said Thursday that the issue of whether the state could mandate all students to wear masks when they return to in-person classes isn’t resolved, despite an opinion from the attorney general contradicting her efforts at a statewide mandate. Kelly’s said during a virtual roundtable with teachers as districts finalize their preparations to resume classes that she thought a “more definitive” solution could come into place than the current standoff with Attorney General Derek Schmidt, although she did elaborate on what that could look like. What she didn’t want, however, was a lawsuit over the matter. “I don’t want another lawsuit, I want to appeal to the attorney general to put the health and safety of Kansans first,” she told reporters following the event. “An opinion is exactly that, it is an opinion.”
