Springfield parents file lawsuit over school mask mandate

[Sherman A1]

SPRINGFIELD — SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Six parents have filed a lawsuit alleging that Springfield Public Schools doesn't have the authority to require masks.

The Springfield News-Leader reports that the parents argue that the mask mandate in place since August is a legal overreach and infringes on the rights of parents.

Springfield is one of the only districts in southwest Missouri that still requires masking for all students and employees.

Stephanie Sproule, one of the parents named in the lawsuit, has expressed frustration about the required masking in recent board meetings. She said earlier this month that it was time for parents to "stand up and demand our freedoms back."
