Update: Schools That Are Keeping The Masks And Those That Are Not

On Monday Carney informed Delaware Court of Chancery  Vice Chancellor Paul Fioravanti, via the State’s Attorney Office, that he was lifting the mask mandate at 6:00 PM on Tuesday.

The announcement came while the State’s Attorney was defending Carney in a lawsuit brought by Janice Lorrah. Lorrah had argued that Carney overstepped his authority when he extended the mask mandate until March 31st when the State of Emergency was set to end on March 2. By ending the mandate during the trial Carney may have escaped the scrutiny of the court. Lorrah emplored the court to make a ruling on Carney’s order. Fioravanti is expected to make that decision later today.

As a result of the lifting of the mandate local school districts will be left with the decision on masks. Below are the mask policies for each district. If you have received a notice from your school district please message us on Facebook with those notices. Check back to see updates.
