Texas is suspending enforcement of Gov. Greg Abbott's ban on mask mandates in public schools as it
deals with legal challengesTexas' education agency said it has temporarily stopped enforcing Gov. Greg Abbott's ban on mask mandates, and the state Supreme Court said schools can temporarily allow school districts to make students wear masks.
The Texas Education Agency said on Thursday that it was doing this due to lawsuits against it.
And the Texas Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that schools can continue requiring masks for now, the Associated Press reported.
Coronavirus cases and hospitalizations have surged in Texas, but Abbott, a Republican, has kept a ban on mandatory masking.
