(KGTV) A judge granted a temporary restraining order in favor of a group of North County parents who sued the state in an effort to overturn pandemic-related rules they say prevent school districts from reopening.
Judge Cynthia Freeland said that the state s framework for reopening K-12 schools âis selective in its applicability, vague in its terms, and arbitrary in its prescriptions.â
âWith the mental health effects resulting from (or being exacerbated by) remote learning, one can conclude that disparate treatment being experienced by children affected by the January 2021 Framework is depriving those same children of a fundamental benefit of education, namely provision of the necessary tools to help children adjust normally to their environment,â court documents stated.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. A judge ruled Monday in favor of a group of North County San Diego parents who sued the state to overturn pandemic-related rules they allege have unfairly prevented school districts from reopening for in-person learning.
The temporary restraining order issued by San Diego Superior Court Judge Cynthia Freeland prohibits the state from enforcing the provisions of its January framework for reopening schools, which the plaintiffs allege has interfered with school districts reopening plans and includes arbitrary restrictions that have impeded in-person instruction from resuming.

A San Diego County judge issued a temporary restraining order Monday, March 15, blocking California from enforcing a wide swath of rules that limit and regulate school openings, saying that the state has denied children their right to an education by forcing many to stay in online learning.
Judge Cynthia Freeland granted the restraining order to a group of North County parents who sued several state leaders last month to overturn the school reopening framework rules that the state issued in January. The lawsuit argued that the rules were unfairly preventing schools from reopening and that children are suffering because of school closures.
VISTA (KUSI) – A judge Monday ruled in favor of a group of North County parents who sued the state to overturn pandemic-related rules they allege have unfairly prevented school districts from reopening for in-person learning.
The temporary restraining order issued by San Diego Superior Court Judge Cynthia Freeland prohibits the state from enforcing the provisions of its January framework for reopening schools, which the plaintiffs allege has interfered with school districts’ reopening plans and includes “arbitrary” restrictions that have impeded in-person instruction from resuming.
Lee Andelin, an attorney representing the parents, said the order appears to apply to schools statewide. The parties will reconvene in two weeks for a hearing on a preliminary injunction.
