Blue Valley family sues Johnson County over order mandating COVID masks in schools

A Blue Valley parent and middle school student are suing the Johnson County Board of Commissioners over its mask mandate in some schools, arguing that the pandemic health order is overly restrictive as it lasts through the end of the school year.

Attorney Ryan Kriegshauser is representing the Blue Valley student, who is only identified by the initials M.M.C. in the lawsuit. The child’s parent is identified as B.C.

The child attends a school affected by Johnson County’s health order, which mandates masks in private and public schools serving children as old as sixth grade. The Blue Valley school district went beyond that and mandated masks for all grade levels, worried that classrooms of unmasked and unvaccinated children would lead to COVID-19 outbreaks and possible closures.

The lawsuit claims that the mandate has interfered with the student’s “ability to complete schoolwork, interact with her friends and receive instruction from her teachers.”
