Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey targeted two school districts over quarantine policies for unvaccinated students.
The Republican said requiring certain kids to quarantine if they've been exposed goes against state law.
But lawyers for the districts argue the policies are based on state and federal public health guidelines.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey warned two school districts this week that requiring unvaccinated students to quarantine after exposure to COVID-19 is against state law.
In a letter to two superintendents on Wednesday, Ducey said the districts' policy to mandate a 10-day quarantine for unvaccinated students who come into contact with the virus goes against a state law that prohibits schools from requiring vaccines or face masks among students.
