OVERLAND PARK, Kan. â A judge dismissed a lawsuit filed against the Blue Valley school district by a Johnson County Commissioner who was denied entry into a district meeting because she refused to wear a mask.
Johnson County District Judge Robert Wonnell ruled Friday that Commissioner Charlotte O'Hara had no standing to file the lawsuit under a state law passed last month that details how people can object to COVID-19 restrictions.
