Two Sedgwick County judges have allowed face mask requirements at area schools to remain in place after dismissing lawsuits brought by parents under the state’s new emergency management law. The judges ruled against the parents, who argued that requiring masks in the classroom amid the coronavirus pandemic violated Senate Bill 40. In separate orders filed this week in Sedgwick County District Court, Judge Eric Commer and Judge William Woolley denied petitions from Mulvane parent Lara Payton and Derby parents Richard Coleman and Michael Blankenship.
