The Monona Grove School Board (MGSB) has voted not to remove the districtâs name from a recent Wisconsin Supreme Court case.
Court case number 2020AP001419 deals with the rights and authorities of Wisconsin state health officials to close schools, for COVID-19 related reasons, at their sole discretion.
On Aug. 21, Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC) released Emergency Order #9, requiring all Dane County schools to have grades three through twelve go virtual due to COVID-19 concerns.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court deemed this unconstitutional, placing a temporary ban on the order. Now, the constitutionality of PHMDCâs authority to issue any such orders in the future is under scrutiny.
