The debate over whether children should be required to wear masks in schools has
spilled over from school district board meetings and classrooms to the courtroom.
The Massapequa School District and Locust Valley Central School District, both on
Long Island, sued New York State over the mandate, which requires enforcement
of mask-wearing by students and adults in school buildings. Both districts had
implemented mask-optional policies before the mandate.
