As you may know, from press coverage overnight, there have been significant developments regarding the mask mandate in New York.

· 4:53 pm - The New York State Supreme Court Judge in Nassau County ruled the mask mandate in schools unconstitutional.

· 8:20 pm - A communication from the Commissioner of Education stated “schools must continue to follow the mask rule,” as it was expected the State would be filing an appeal of the ruling.

· 10:45 pm - The Attorney General filed a Notice of Appeal of the Nassau County Supreme Court’s ruling.

Based on the Attorney General’s filing of the Notice of Appeal, and the directive issued by the Commissioner of Education last evening, the use of masks inside school buildings remains mandatory and not optional at this point in time.
